Unknown year Centurion Lemans. Identical paint to the 1988 Ironman Master, purple smoked fade to white, even the decals are similar, slightly bolder font on the CENTURION but still the little multi-colored ones. Has Centurion chainstay protector like my '89 DS Ironman Expert. Says Tange 2 seamless double butted on the seat tube. The decal at the base of the seat tube says Made in Taiwan, Designed in USA, identical to the '88 and '89 Ironman sticker, but they say made in Japan. The fork decals are identical to the fork decals on my '88 Ironman, but say Mangalloy instead of CroMo. The paint job is definitely original. Components are Shimano Exage brakes/calipers, but Shimano Sport LX shifters/FD/RD, and the running gear has white rubber accents on the shifters, white painted parts on the FD/RD. The crankset is 5-bolt Sugino. Hubs were Shimano Exage. The seller cobbled a lot of spare parts onto it, so the Titan deep V front rim is no clue. The rear rim is a Matrix that looks identical to the Araya Super Hard CTL-370's on my Ironman bikes, eyelets and all, but is dark gray. The handlebars have no name whatsoever, even under the tape. Stem had also been changed. Headset is an off brand, but matches a Tange Progress 1 pretty close, high crown on it. The bike was barely "as described" as far as condition, so I kept it for the most expensive set of parts I've ever bought. Serial # is F3105697.

T-Mar, the mystery either get deeper or it will soon all be clear. Just like geometry in 9th grade.....And thanks so much for all you do for us.
