This was only a $375 bicycle back in 1990. It's worth about $250 with the extras.

BTW, Diamond Back never bought Centurion. They were sister brands owned by Western States Imports, with Centurion being used on road bicycles and Diamond Back being used on BMX & ATB models, When WSI and its brands was sold to China Bicycle Company, effective the 1990 model year, CBC decided to consolidate marketing under one brand. Centurion has been trademarked by WSI, only in the USA and there were other bicycles using the Centurion name in foreign markets. Diamond Back did not have this restriction and was the obvious choice for CBC's marketing strategy of establishing a globally recognized brand.
