Hi everyone. This is an incredible resource, thanks to everyone who made it possible.

I've decided as my cold-weather quarantine project to rehab my wife's Centurion Lemans. She purchased it in college (~2009); it's been sitting unused in a shed for the past 3. The extent of my geared bike experience is on a 10-speed townie. The rest of is single speed and fixed. Great time to learn how gears work.

Serial number is N4H7115. Based on the formula here, I think this equates to 1984 production, maybe March?

Based on the 1984 Centurion catalog on Sheldon Brown it looks like most components are original, or at least same brand/style replacements. It does have a Specialized stem, which I believe to be an S-2 Road. The saddle and pedals are clearly replacements from when she bought it.

I cleaned it up today to see what I'm working with. At a minimum it'll probably need new chainrings (worn), freewheel cluster (worn), seatpost (rusted to hell), pedals (prob try to go original), and seat.

Cheers!
