From my Scapin - It came radial spoked, (bad juju). Had a local shop rebuild as 3 cross. Looks much better, and hopefully no cracks heading my way.

I will defer to Robbie on all things Centurion. My bike is a Lemans RS, red and white paint. I thought I had the serial number tracked down to a 1986.

I have an '86 Lemans RS, and found "some" 28s will fit, but not all. I tried Paselas which rubbed, and just squeezed in gatorskins. I had trouble rubbing the rear brake, not the frame.
