What Would You Do?
My fiancee has this old Centurion Sports bike that she's having more darn fun riding. It's been
modified to be more comfortable for her, a small woman with narrow shoulders and short arms. Kind of
like a little T Rex in that regard.
With flat bars and short-reach levers, riding and braking are working for her. But the old downtube
friction shifing is awkward and clunky. There's not a lot of room on the bars for any shifters I
can think of.
But I bet the folks on this forum will have some Mite-E-Fine ideas about how to make some
improvements.
Please see http://www.jmscrapbook.com/2003/CenturionBB.html
for a photo and a description of the various relevant bits on the bike.
Thanks!
