How did you know there are no water bottle bosses, are you able to see the pictures I tried to post? Anyways, will try to share once I’ve reached 10 posts.

I’ve suspected that the lack of bottle bosses and the fact that the shifters are located on the steering wheel rather than the down tube would indicate a lower level model, at least seeing the specs in the US catalogues.

I don’t understand why it would be more premium to have the shifters on the down tube though, much more hassle to change gears IMO.
European Centurion catalogues are available on www.retrobike.co.uk
