Yes, that's the same thought I was having. Whoever owns the name is not realizing the heritage associated with Centurion. I don't recall Centurion ever marketing any really low end, steel wheeled, bargain basement bikes. Their big push seemed to be the mid-level and upper mid-level bikes, targeting the serious cyclist. By comparison, Nishiki was all over the place even reaching out to department stores to sell bikes.
