About this product
This is a vintage 60cm Centurion Carbon R 89 triathlon racing bike, originally retailing over $1300. It features a composite frame material, making it a lightweight option for its era. The bike is equipped with 700C wheels and uses caliper side-pull brakes. Presented in a black finish, this model is designed for men and is specifically built for racing and triathlon events. Its vintage status suggests it's a piece from an earlier generation of cycling technology.
Our take
As a reviewer, I can appreciate the history behind this Centurion Carbon R 89. The composite frame and 700C wheels are solid features for a vintage racing bike, especially one designed for triathlon. The 60cm frame size indicates it's suited for taller riders, which is important to consider. While the original retail price was high, the current offering presents an interesting value. However, potential buyers should note the caliper side-pull brakes are an older system compared to modern disc brakes, and as a vintage item, it might require some extra attention or refurbishment to bring it up to contemporary performance standards.
