Bike Built: Century Challenger


OK, so nobody knows what a Century Challenger is. This bike was built out of leftover pieces - the frame got left on the sidewalk outside and was getting sadder and sadder (wheels, saddle stolen... rusting)

I grabbed it and had it hanging in the shed for a while. Put a set of steel wheels on it - Holland quality! Canadian style! Added an Italian (!) saddle and made it rideable again.

I think it's from Sears, it has a North Country head badge on it. I'm pretty sure I had a North Country sweater at some point, long ago. Probably made in Quebec by the Procycle factory.

Up for sale for $40!
