Centurion
http://i1141.photobucket.com/albums/...pszfpwoytq.jpgDid some research. With the knowledge base here though, your guess is better than mine. During which era was round headbadge? I'm guessing ealy 70s.
Cigarette butt for scale. |
If that's a first gen cyclone RD and it's original to the bike (two bid 'ifs' with a picture of that quality), I'd say you're dating this bike about a decade early.
E: why not include the other image from the for sale listing?? http://i.imgur.com/f0nqc35.jpg |
What does the other pic tell us?

That looks like my 1981 Centurion Super Elite. It also came with 1st gen Cyclone RD. I haven't been able to find a 1981 catalog online, but looking at the 1979 catalog, it doesn't seem like there was a whole lot of change in specs from 1979-1981.

Round headbadge is circa 1978-1983. This appears to be a Super Elite from the earlier portion of that range.
Edit: Given the period and level, the frame is most liekly manufactured bu Miki, in which case the serial number will tell of the exact year. |

the model name is on the drive side chain stay . Looks like Super something. Super LeMans or Super Elite. The pin striping I believe is from the 1980 and 1981 model years, but I am not certain about that. |

Would it ride much different than my 87 Prelude, with Tange tubing?

My '80 Elite had that badge.
