1989 centurion Ironman Expert Dave Scott, apparently I deleted the photo of the serial number when I sold the bike, but i do remember that it was N9xxxxx
The Cavaletto was contract manufactured by Fairly of Taiwan in January 1987. Fairly was a major source for Western States Imports in the 1980s but they were used primarily for the Diamond Back brand of ATB and BMX models.
Edit: The Expert was definitely a 1989 model, as the Centurion brand was dropped in the USA for the 1990 model year, with road, ATB, BMX and hybrid lines all being marketed under the Diamond Back brand.
