Vintage Centurion LE MANS RS Road Frameset with Tange #2 Double Butted Cr-Mo

Description

1985 Vintage Centurion LE MANS RS Road Frameset with
Tange #2
Seamless Double Butted Chrome-Moly Tubing
Up for sale is a 1985 Vintage Centurion
LE MANS RS
road frame set. Fully lugged constructed with
Tange #2
Seamless Double Butted Chrome-Moly tubes with forged horizontal dropouts.
(Tange No. 2, also called Champion No. 2, later simply No. 2, compared favorably with Columbus SL tube sets as both shared the identical .9/.6/.9mm butting. With Tange’s quality control and finish arguable being a little better).
Tange
Mangaloy 2001
Manganese alloy fork with forged dropouts. Sale include headset and Sugino micro-adjusting alloy seat post.
Frame alignment is straight with no bends
and the original paint and graphics are in decent condition. One dime sized dent on the right side of the top tube and a number of nicks and scratches from normal use,
(too many to list individually but most notably on the outside of the fork blades, right side of the head tube, top tube cable guides and right chain stay),
please see pictures. Overall I’d rate the original paint and graphic about a 7½ out of 10.
