I'm currently rebuilding a Centurion comp TA road bike. I will be more than glad to give my serial number for further information you may have to offer re:year made. It is great to have your knowledge available. This is my first rebuild and yes i'm a rookie at the road bike thing. I have the bike striped to the frame at this time. I will begin the surface prep next. I painted automobiles for several years for a local dealership and feel comfortable with the finishing phase of the build. I no longer paint cars for a living once I completed college years ago but painting is like "riding a bike" LOL. The bike is currently original and equipped with shimano 600 components. The frame has a good bit of scratches and surface rust, this is the reason for repainting it. The first question for anyone out there, Where can I find Centurion decals? It is (or seems) impossible to find on-line. Secondly, what is a good rebuild book?

It is late at night and T-mar I will get the serial number to you within the next couple of days. Thanks and have a pleasent week.
Rookie
