I suspect something off the beaten path like a Marukin or Kuaharawa. Looks like a nice bike though.

I think it is a centurion pro tour 15, like the one on this site:
https://fattiretrading.com/protour.html
oddly, someone stripped most of the paint without removing any components.

I also think it's some sort of Centurion Pro Tour= around 1984. Those look like Champion decals- but the seat tube one is in the wrong location...
Speaking of- look at what I found when looking for Pro Tour pix:
How's that for the cat's pyjamas? An aero mount DT cable stop/spoke holder.

There's twisty one for wimps like me ! Kick myself for passing up an early Trek Earl just for that novelty item. Now I really wish I had it for this coastal riding.
