I bought one of these new in circa '85 in Santa Monica. I remember the decals being more of a purplish tint? First thing I did was pull the Centurion decals off (no clear coat) and pretend it was a Cinelli. Still have the frame hanging in the basement. The frames were definitely heavy duty. I've not weighed it but compared to my '85 Team Olmo, it's much heavier. It was my first real road bike, rode it for about a year then moved up. It was a good bike, used it for commuting to work in California with the addition of Araya clinchers.
