I exchanged a PM with Robbie earlier relating that I had the Turbo in my lbs to get the wheels trued and spokes retensioned and in chatting asked if they had ever heard of anyone who'd stripped the paint from one and hit a jackpot of sorts. Turns out one of the local bike nuts owned one and not only stripped the paint, but removed all the brazeons and the derailleur hanger--he works at a large and very well-equipped custom metal fab shop here in town--and converted it to--eek--a fixie. The only joy to come from this is he sold it to a very attractive young lady who works next door to my favorite downtown coffee shop and many times I've seen her pull up, dismount, shoulder her bike up several steps to the converted loading dock/store front and she's invariably wearing a skirt and cowboy boots. She loves her solid-chrome fixie--but has no idea it's an '84 Centurion Turbo--and the next time I chat with her I'll ask permission to take some photos and I'll post them along with some of my deep blue '84.
