Serial number is M8A00755
Lots of SR components. Suntour derailleurs and bar end shifters. Sun Shine Pro-am hubs. MKS pedals

Your Pro Tour is a beauty.
The builders of these higher end Centurions just gave so much attention to the aesthetic details.
I would expect a new frame and fork built similar with the chrome work would be $1500 or more.
If another one comes along in my size (I have had 2) and I have the funding for it,
I will jump on the deal.
Even with my fondness for the build details on these Pro Tours one thing I wonder about on some of the later models is
why they did not make the stays and wheelbase a bit longer. My 24" 83 was more of a sport tourer in regards to those measurements. 104cm wheelbase & 42.5 or 43cm stays.
Other touring bikes I have had have more like 45cm stays and 106 to 108cm wheelbase.
