Last week I was asking the list about Terry bikes with short top tubes and small front wheels, and this weekend I find an immaculate, diminuitive Centurion Dave Scott Iron Man Expert with 24" front wheel for $10. I bought it for my little boy to ride to get him off those hog-wheeled BMX bikes and onto a proper lugged steel road bike for a starter. Seems like it ought to be called Iron Woman, but, hey, at least they made a bike for petite ladies; that long after the fact should work fine for my little guy. I don't know if its on list or not, but it must be close. Specs:
Frame Measurements: Seat tube--18 3/4" Center to Top; Top tube--19.5 Center to Center. We're talking petite. Sorry, I mislaid my metric tape.
Tubing: Main and rear triangles-Tange 1 or I seamless double-butted (looks like two "1"s nested together) sticker on seat tube; fork--Tange cro-moly blades stickers.
Paint: white head tube and seat tube, salmon top tube, down tube, seat and chain stays, and forks.
Headset, derailleurs, down tube shift levers, side pull brakes, cranks, pedals (Avenir straps) and hubs: Shimano 105.
Chainwheels: two ring Shimano Biopace
Free wheel: Shimano, 6 cogs
Brake Levers: Shimano SLR Aero style
Stem: alloy Nitto
Bars: Nitto B115 360 covered with white wrap and chrome bar caps.
Rims: back--700C Araya; front--24" Araya
Tires: front--nameless 24 x 1 gum wall; back
Seat post: fluted Sugino SP-KC
Seat: lady's Vetta w/brushed black surface.
I know this is not one of the best bikes ever mentioned on the list, but it has to be one of the cutest.
