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

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: https://www.bikeforums.net/archive/in.../t-137546.html
There also is a German joint venture with Merida. https://www.bike-eu.com/news/690/meri...-business.html

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