Ours have the same color scheme too, which is cool.
Sounds good. Mine is a 52cm.
I debated about converting mine to singlespeed but I found a Raleigh frame instead. My Centurion was originally a 12 speed and is 21 now. The crankset is original (Sugino VT) and had the threaded holes to add the granny ring. I also exchanged the 6 speed freewheel for a 7. I finally wore out the hubs and went to 700C when I built new rims. Mine was originally 27" rim equipped. Incidentally I used the original brakes when I went to 700C. They're long reach and work with the smaller diameter rims.
