I alternate between the LHT and Centurion somewhat at random.
Ahhh, my heart is fluttering! My first 'real' road bike was a Centurion of the same early 80's vintage (I have pictures, which is a little embarrassing!). I loved that bike but traded it in when STI showed up. I HAD to have STI shifting and it never occurred to me (then) to upgrade. Ah well, live and learn! Beautiful bikes
