76 Centurion?
Went to sheldon's and as far as I can tell, 70s Centurions are hard to date without components on them. I just picked up this frame at a swap for $10! I have a 70s Super LeMans, and just sold a 76 Pro Tour, and now fixing up this one. Rear end is chromed like the others, but the ID stamp is on the seat tube near the BB. Serial # 6H3709. Was Silver, going to be light metallic blue, or maybe I get crazy and go hot rod purple? Anyways, looking forward to getting it sprayed out soon! Any thoughts are appreciated, cheers!

Hi Jon - Mid '70's LeMans? I'm not an authority, but I don't think it is either the Pro-Tour or Semi-Pro. Don't remember seeing them with a serial number stamped on the side of the seat tube like that. Someone with more knowledge should be along shortly....

Sorry, can't help you here.
I do have a question though. What kind of setup do you have going to paint? are you using a compressor and airgun? I have a bike I wanted to experiment with painting on, but am worried about the quality of the finished product.

Seat post size? May be a Super Elite. Chrome stays are always a good sign.
