Centurion Clic
hey y'all,
So i found an abandoned Centurion Clic in my apartment building's parking garage and am in the process of converting it to a fixed/SS. I've read through Ashley Wright's centurion page over at sheldonbrown.com and have, using T-Mar's method, determined that the Clic I have was manufactured (calendar year, at least) in 1982. Does anyone have any further specs about this bike?
Thanks,
+m

Thanks for this information.
I'm feeling a little bit like I should have my tail between my legs after reading some of the Vintage Bike Travesties thread's posts -- specifically the uproar over the Centurion Elite conversion -- which I admit looks like a pretty hack job!
I don't have a picture of the frame and have begun stripping the paint... although it looks like the following: https://www.flickr.com/photos/pcnotpc...7594581304840/ Although was in much worse condition! Frame scratches/nicks and some rusting...
I salvaged the frame and it's more or less rusting out parts from a parking garage where I live... looked like it was someone else's project bike (at some point in time), with both the original brake levers and some new Shimano brake levers... no wheels...
I'll record the serial number however and any other parts that I can figure out.
Small bike though --- seat tube is about 50-51 cm.
