I just didn't find any substantial information from my searches. Guess I should have mentioned that first to save myself the trouble of having to correct you.
Hmmm, I would hazard to guess that Centurion is one of the 5 most talked about bikes on this forum. However, here is a very good article that was originally posted on this forum and subsequently on Sheldon Brown's site.

The higher end Centurions are excellent values. I have a 1989 Ironman Dave Scott that I love. I like it so much that I sold my Pinarello that cost me 3 times what I paid for the Centurion.
However, like most companies, Centurion also sold some low end bikes that should be avoided like the plague.
