Centurion ID help

Sorry for the lack of a picture, but I am trying to ID a Centurion bike.

It is white, yellow, and green. The fork and most of the seat and chain stays are white, the seat tube and about 6-8 inches of the stays, top and down tube are yellow, and the rest is green.

From what I can tell, it looks like late 80s paint schemes.

Sorry for the verbal description, but I can't find a picture on the web to ID the bike.

Yep, that one.

The decals look right and the frame looks about right for late 80s, early 90s.

I was more curious about the frame.

I found it, too.

Nothing I can glean from it. No clue.

Unless it's a 1 in a million custom race bike (and the racers were women, so 60cm?), I think, like BG, that it's a repaint.

As far as white fork and stays, only one Ironman model had that, a fade that started white, went to red, then back to white. I've only seen one of those.

If that fork has a lugged crown, I believe you may be looking at a LeMans RS, which had a mangalloy lugged fork on some models.
