Just purchased this nice 25" Centurion LeMans RS this week. I bought it sans wheelset since they were really worn and I plan to modify it anyway. It was originally equipped with a mix of Shimano light action and SL brakes and levers. Nice Tange 2 double butted lugged frame with mangalloy fork.
I'm going to build it up with new brake calipers, Shimano R600 levers, keep the dt shifters and install a 105 front and microshift rear 9-speed derailleur. The wheelset will be a cheap set of Vuelta Corsa HD with ultegra cassette and SRAM chain. Installing a sealed cartridge bottom bracket and keeping the original crank for now. I will also be installing a Brooks B17 on the OE sugino seatpost. This will be my primary training bike for the summer and will continue to wear it's original paint proudly.
The Serial Number is N6M6365.
