In the late 1980s, Dave Scott was the most dominant figure in triathlon. Six Ironman World Championship titles. A legend so outsized that they called him "The Man." Centurion built this bike to carry his name — and everything about it reflects the performance standards he demanded. The coral and white colorway is pure 1980s race energy, and the Dave Scott signature script on the top tube is as bold today as it was the day it left the factory.
This is not just a beautiful vintage road bike. It is a artifact from the golden age of triathlon, when the sport was raw, heroic, and defined by athletes who pushed the boundaries of human endurance. Steel is real, and this Tange No. 1 Cr-Mo frame proves it — responsive, smooth, and built to last a lifetime. Nearly four decades later the paint looks virtually new. That tells you everything about how this bike was cared for.
