I have my parents’ “matched his&hers” Centurion racing bikes that I feel would be a shame to just throw in a dumpster, but I’ve no idea how to find people who would appreciate them.
So my primary question here is: d’you think these are at all worth keeping? I’m not interested in cash, merely avoiding waste.
Secondary, how do I find a community? Is this it?
They’re Centurion bikes, with a sticker near the crank saying “Infinity cr-mo double tapered butted tubing”. Silly me took the pic from the wrong side, sorry - Front and rear derailleurs are stamped “Suntour Cyclone 7000”, it’s a 2*6 arrangement. The levers are on the frame and go clicky-click when shifting.
Definitely don’t throw then out! There are plenty of people who would love well maintained vintage bikes. Try posting them to Facebook marketplace, Nextdoor, craigslist, offer up, etc or bring them to a local bike shop.
I once posted a shit condition, cheap as hell, no brand bike that was rusting and has a lock I had lost the key for onto Facebook marketplace for £10. People were falling over themselves to come get it first. Bikes seem to always have value.
