When a bike is a smokin deal, you need to just grab it. At $50, I would do my research later.

I had a Le Mans that looked like that last year. My guess is Tange 2 butted frame, Shimano Light Action RD and maybe biopace front rings. If that were in the Cleveland area I would have snapped it up for that price in a hot second.

I may be a former owner of that bike. I had a Centurion Le Mans that I sold about 4-5 months back to a guy who lived in Bloomfield that looked exactly like that. If it is, it has an upgraded wheelset and a 600 tricolor RD and is a steal.
If not, it's still a nice bike for the price.

Dude, go now and get it.
I heard somewhere Centurions made some decent bikes.
It's worth a gamble.
Heck, I'd have PayPal'd the $50 and paid him $65 to ship it.
At $115 disassembled, worth the price and less labor involved to clean and reassemble.
Think outside the bike box.
