Just have to put my 2 cents in here. First off, grayloon- Nice bike! . I have the same bike in a 52cm, it's light blue metallic and silver. The paint quality is good and it's a well made little bike, shifts good, too. I beg to disagree about the ride quality, as it seems a bit harsh to me. To be fair, my other bike is a Peugeot, and the Centurion has the original Panaracers that are labeled 700 x 25, but they look like 700 x 23's. I'm thinking about putting some 700 x 28's on there. Looks like there's plenty of room for bigger tires. Enjoy your bike!
