Front Quick-release: Suzue close

Parts that could be original:

Brakes, Grips and Hoods: Shimano 105.

Headset: Shimano 105.
Stem: Nitto (Unknown, and stuck at the moment.)
Dropbar: Nitto, B115

Bottom bracket box: Kaoita (As far as I can make out.)

As it, hopefully, can be seen in the pictures, it is Tange#2. The fork seems to be that too.

(Yes, it will get an overhaul.)

A guess:

All I know of the history of the bike, is that it was originally purchased by a Thri-Athlethe from Denmark (where the bike is still at). So I would have expected it to have the special Danish serial-number, instead of the generic Centurion number.
Even more so in ligth of the name, which differs from what I have seen on the net so far.

My guess: Centurion made this version for the non-USA market, but the Danish importer didn't import the model. Therefore it was specially imported for the Thri-Athlethe to Denmark. (Maybe by the general importer, maybe by someone else, or maybe he simply bougth it in another country.)

Comments and questions are welcome.

Merry and happay.
