Thanks for the tips, Mr Winthrop. Yeah, I discovered the smart and nifty grease cap design when I repacked the pedal bearings.
Until definite proof appears to the contrary I'll have to stick with my judgement about the paint. Especially given Robbie's testimony about the other "blues" he's laid eyes on. There is still a big mystery hole in the base of information about this subcategory of Equipes. I was hoping to get more from the LBS owner who supposedly sold this particular one.
I really look forward to getting a few serious miles on it.......starting this afternoon.
BTW, I have read all I can find on the Equipe. Kudos for your research and documentation on it and Centurion generally. It's a real pleasure to walk in your footsteps. I send sincere appreciation to you for that.
Cheers.

+1 on great job, but I disagree about those nice composit
Ofmega Sintesi peds. They are light as a feather and the
easiest pedals I own to get into and out of. Mine have
black-enamel clips, not those much nicer chrome ones though.
