Centurion/Cinelli

Sorry this is not a Reply to the person before me. Just an owner putting his Centurion on the Database...

Hi I am new and A. Winthrop pressured me into getting on here. Glad to be here, as I love the brand, and this particular bike also- Equipe.

Its too long a story but I read A.Winthrops piece on Centurions, and especially the rare Equipe...
2 days later, no joke, one pops up on Craigs in my hometown. 30 minutes later I paid cash and there were 8 calls in that time. It is an unusual bicycle, it is an Enigma as A.W. likes to say.

A very nice bicycle and I have been in the game a while. This one impresses me.
Restored it, but with creative freedom because of lack of info and because Centurions decals left so much to be desired. But... it is way too big. 58cm C-T, perfect for my wife. So she is the lucky one. It is a keeper and I would rather have it than a Super Corsa from that vintage. I like unique Enigmas.
Parts are campy from the exact era and I had been saving them for a special bicycle. Didn't know it wouldn't be mine! My hope is to get a Pro Tour in the 50-53 range from that same time which I believe to be a Panasonic.
Hope to meet some of you on the thread and this is my first post here so sorry if I don't follow the rules etc. Thanks
