Will add photos tomorrow.

Got a Centurion Omega at a local auction for $50 Cdn. Very poor photos in low light. Arguably the worst paint job I've ever seen. By that I mean the actual paint is not bonded to the metal and just flakes off with a thumbnail. Bizarrely, the name "Centurion" (or what remains of the name) was put on with stick-on letters (was paint that expensive??). Adding entry a) for T-Mar who needs serial numbers for his investigations b) to record the hideous paint job for posterity.

Group set is almost immaculate as I was told owner couldn't get it to shift and didn't know anyone who could "fix it" so it would shift. Steel wheels with zero rust which shocked me as the frame has rust, mostly on the chains stays. Suntour 7 derailleurs with a long cage GT rear and Suntour 7 stem shifters. Brakes are Dia Compe. I pulled the chain guard off the crank set as it just looked too dorky.
Serial is A7105289. I'd rate quality of the frame set as better than a Raleigh Record, a well made bike betrayed by it's paint. Where it not for the cotterless crank set I'd have guessed early '70s but was told it was bought "after 1977". Velobase wasn't working for me but I think repeat think that Suntour made the GT in the late '70s so this might be right for when it was made.

Photos to show general view of bike, then it's components.






Now, sadly photos to show paint and the weird stick on letters which are peeling off.
