Any info on this alu Centurion?
 
Thanks. :thumb:

All I can tell you is that it has a 1" steerer, is made with Easton Elite alu, has threaded downtube bosses,

1" threadless makes me think circa 2000, but of course the crank is later than that.

Sheldon Brown said there was a Danish Centurion bicycle brand, and a German Centurion brand too. Both unrelated to the classic Diamond Back/Centurions...

I didn't know about the other countries

Looks very nice. I think it may be of the Dutch Centurion brand sold in Europe? I have never seen a similar model in the USA. Here is a link on the history of Centurion: http://www.bikeforums.net/archive/in.../t-137546.html

There also is a German joint venture with Merida. http://www.bike-eu.com/news/690/meri...-business.html

This also may help: http://sheldonbrown.com/centurion/index.html

I still have my 1983 Elite 12. Great bike. Good luck.
