This 57CM Firenze ten speed is a classic, little bit clunky ten speed from the 1970's. Lots of new parts. $225. SOLD
Classy looking 56CM Centurion is the color of a tangerine - just a little more red than a standard orange. The very clean, braze-on free frame makes it a nice candidate for a handsome single speed. Lots new. $250. SOLD!
