My Centuron project is 100% finished. Enjoy the eye candy.
I just wrapped the bars, added a pump and rear fender. And that pretty much wraps up the project. Guess these are the last pics I'll post of her.
But' you ask, " what about all that white paint that dripped on the fork somehow? And all that advice that I got on how to remove it? " Well I think I'm gonna just leave it alone. It's not really noticeable and it actually adds some character I think. So look a long time boys! Cuz you ain't ever gonna see her again! From now on I'll be just advising on this forum.
Questions?!

That is a beautiful bike, nice work.
Not a fan of the rear fender but I do understand that it has it's purpose.

That looks great. How long did it take to pose your bike like that?

You should take that rubberband off when you take it for a spin. It might make the brakes rub. It looks nice, just not very functional.

also, nice I really like the middle aged Centurions. The 80s ones were nice, but so Miami-vice, and (most of) the older ones didn't look as good as these, I thought.

That's handsome! I like the unconventional tire/rim scheme. It looks functional to me!

That rear clamp-on fender will really do a good job of all that spray behind you, but for my money I'd like to protect my pant legs from dirt and mud along with protecting my back.
But hey, some prefer dirt over half their body. Guess I don't.
Edit: The bike is beautiful, and all snark in my post is meant with the utmost in cheekishness.

And you did get me thinking that I do need a real set of fenders but not for my Centurion!
I have a older Specialized Crossroads that would be perfect for that. Yeah I do recall all that spray when turning now that you mention it. My shoes got soaked!
