I haven't forgotten. I am just totally ignorant on those bikes, having never seen one.
JunkYardBike and mrmw would know more about them than I.
I don't doubt their quality one bit, I just now zero about them.

Anything you could add would be great. During that time, Centurion was simply beating the price points.
I assume those bikes were well in line with Centurion's ability to offer excellent stuff for the money.
