Finally finished. Full and lengthy teardown, inspection and rebuild. As example, I spent about 6 hours on wheels alone.
This is my last project for awhile; I'll be riding for the rest of the year.

I bought this bike off local CL in late winter, after following it pretty closely since becoming aware of it a couple years ago.

The fellow from whom I acquired it said he bought it from someone who claimed original ownership and who told a story of
having bought it from a local shop which carried Centurion for a time in the mid 80s.

I have recently talked with the owner of that shop and he has no memory of having sold such a bike. He remembers selling a
few of the more standard iterations - even owning one himself - but he sheds no light on this one.

The original paint and chrome cleaned up nicely and shows no evidence of marks or residue associated with having ever
carried decals or badges. The paint - a beautiful metallic blue - is strong and deep. Judging by some loose chips it's
certain that it has at least a primer, a substantial color coat and a clear coat.

The bike came with most of the catalog components. Missing for sure is the Volare saddle. Maybe the rims - it presently sports Mavic MA 2s.

The factory mix of Italian bits - Campy, Miche, Ofmega, Gipiemme, etc, is present. For various reasons of looks, experimentation, economy
and performance, I've taken liberties by substituting stem, bars, brake pulls, shifters and F/R derailleurs. Even re-used the tires that came
with the bike - Specialized Mondo Pro w/slightly different cosmetics, front to rear.

It'll be a rider. Likely there'll be more changes along the way.

Thanks to RobbieTunes for encouragement, knowledge, pedals and decals. You'll notice I took some liberties with them as well, Robbie.

I hope it's clear to all that this is not an attempt to "fake" a Cinelli. It's simply a fun exercise to reinvent and personalize a cool
bike that by its very nature and history invites such treatment.

I welcome your comments.
