Over the last five years I've been looking, I've not seen
one Centurion Professional come up on eBay. I've seen a
few very similar Centurion Semi-Professional models, which
were one step down from the Professional. So my guess is
that you will have a hard time finding one, especially
in your 60cm size. I ride 62cm c-c and bikes 60cm c-c and
larger are much harder to find, especially among the higher-
end models.

Are you a Kiwi? If so, do you know the name Bill Sutch, NZ's
Industries & Commerce Secretary in the '50s? My mother knew
him at Columbia U. in New York when they were graduate
students together in the 1930s. :-)

Hi, I do mean a Centurion Professional, circa 1977-78. Sorry, but I dont know your friend. I am now living in Sydney Australia. I have seen one on the web which is about a 62cm, but the owner doesnt want to part with it. I also heard of one in NZ last year for sale, but in a smaller size. If anyone is interested, I can enquire if it is still for sale, although I doubt it.
