Bikes: '77 Centurion "Pro Tour"; '67 Carlton "The Flyer"; 1984 Ross MTB (stored at parents' house)

The Pro Tour from the 1970's to about 1980 had the brazed on centerpull brakes, which work outstandingly well. Only the later ones had the chromed lugs, but I hadn't realized the entire frame was chromed. I have a 1977 that I restored this winter/spring coming here to Albuquerque in a shipping container this weekend, and I can't wait to ride it here.

I don't think this bike is a very common one. It makes me really want some other Centurions from this era.
