  1. Hi, im new to buying road bikes and not sure which bike would be the better bike.

    The first one is an 1987/88 lemans centurion, the condition of the bike is pretty great, no paint chips. Here is a link of the bike, so you can see what im talking about.
    MENS 1987/88 CENTURION LEMANS 14 SPEED RACING/ROAD BIKE - eBay (item 140328853111 end time Aug-21-09 18:05:28 PDT)

    The second one is a schwinn volare 700c road bike (not the flat bar).
    Here is the link to this bike:

    I do not know which bike is the better bike. Both have been offered to me as 100 dollars. So i have to make a choice. Both conditions of the bike are excellent. Thanks for the help.

  2. FWIW. If the Centurion LeMans has the right size frame for you, then that is the one I would choose/recommend ...

    Looking at the pic, the Centurion is probably best suited for a rider who is between 5'2" & 5'7".

  3. If you can, ride each one and see which has a better feel to you personally. Better yet, buy both and put about 100 miles on each and see which works for best you, and sell the other one or keep it as a backup bike so you have no excuse not to ride if you get a flat or other problem.
