For Sale! Touring bike, Chrome backpacks, Carradice saddlebags

Hey all - I have some extra crap that I would like to leave my house and find a new home, maybe at your house, so I can make some more room to buy different crap that I don't need. Please feel free to make an offer on any of this stuff - really, I'd like it gone. Soon. Today, even.

I love the look of that bike. A new one will set you back $1200, so $375 seems like a pretty good deal.

It is too small for me - otherwise I'd be sorely tempted.

Yep - the $375 is what it cost me all together, got a really good deal on a different touring bike that fits me better so this one's got to go. Thought about keeping the fenders and rack but they seem to fit this bike well so I'd rather just sell as a package.

I have been trying to find the funds to make an offer... Oye! Love it!

Just an update - bike is sold (good lord, seems to be a real touring bike deficit in this town), bags are going but at least one of each still available. If you are on the market for an early 80's beater touring bike, I have a very bizarre old Centurion (by bizarre, I mean that it can hold FOUR water bottle cages, and the components are clearly the product of someone's random parts bin and maybe some psychedelic drugs) then you are in luck, as I have one that I will sell for $125, or maybe less.

Where does one mount a 4th water bottle cage?

only two installed right now, but you can see more bosses further up the downtube - there are also water bottle bosses on the bottom of the downtube. Strange.

i max want to see this in real life / maybe buy this from you!

I've seen that on the long tube of a tandem, but never on a single bike. What's the clearance like between the bottles? are both cages usable with a normal sized bottle, or does one block the other?

If there is a Carradice available, I am in.
