If you're talking about the one with the lock ring that has 2 slots and is a total pita to keep tight, that is a Levin used on the Raleigh USAs. I don't think it is the same as this Centurion unless it's an alumnum version.

It could be a newer one like the Shadow Conspiracy Grande or the Primo Stevie, I don't ever recall seeing a tall conical shaped spacer; there were some BMX bikes with a tall conical shaped spacer but I can't remember if I saw those in the mid 80's or afterwards.

Thanks all. Looks like Tange Levin Aero indeed (or at least this is the headset I want). Perfect for a space-age build I'm planning for the odd Centurion I'm getting. Looks aluminum tho - Bikedued you think stainless?
I see from @Bikedued's links the bike did come stock with a Turbo seat @jetboy!
Edit: Ugh. Looks like a rare headset. None on eBay, one for $300 elsewhere. @plonz, you have one you can't stand?

Torpado Competition - 53-54cm - $600
No affiliation. I assume the Columbus sticker is Italian for "gas pipe," however it has nice components. The price might be a stretch, even with the Campy bits.

This is not my size and I have no need for it at all, but I am still tempted to send an email and drive over and pick it up - right now. Somebody save me from temptation! Price is right for the campy gruppo and brooks alone.

VW Vanagon folks recognize Los Osos as the home of GoWesty, a specialist vendor of some repute in the Vanagon world. Any profits from the bike biz would undoubtedly be spent down the street.
