The '88 Centurion LeMans I bought for $35 for the 2021 Clunker Challenge 100 turned out to be one of the most delightful bikes I've owned. It handles well, it's comfortable on poorly paved roads, and I just plain enjoyed riding it - so much so that I hung onto it, and plan it riding it some more this year. Someone forgot to tell it that it's a budget bike built to a price point - on the road it's comparable to many much pricer bikes I've owned and ridden. There is a LOT of bang for the buck here.
