Centurion Elite RS         Featured Bike! on 07/23/2012

This frame didn't have any shifter braze-ons, just a little block that the single mount for the DT shifters. I really don't like brifters and have now converted this to Dura Ace DT shifter via a down tube clamp. I guess I'm one of the very few folks that like to go backward with technology.

My bad, I didn't notice 1984 for the model year. If it's anywyhere near as smooth as the next level down, the Lemans RS, it's a silky ride (had the same bump for the DT shiters)...

Looks so good, it may as well be new, anyway. I hear you on the DT's, I just bought some SunRace 9-sp DT's....

Dt shifters are the bees knees

hOLA!, I also exchange the wheels, but that also only in me, looks excellent, cranckset is so good, the weather looks good, enjoy the rides, "Sweet Dreams on the Road", ZZZ-ZZZ-zzz-zzz. From Mexico DF.

Thanks, I would like to have some better wheels but these will have to do for now, too many bikes and not enough $.
After tensioning, greasing and properly adjust the hubs these wheels aren't bad at all.

I painted it with the Dupli-Color paint sold at the local auto parts store. It's not as durable as a real polyurethane or a powder coat but should last quite a while with care. When I get the money I'll take it down for powder coat

What is the reach of these brakes ? It seems as if you could perfectly mount 25mm tires, maybe even 28mm, AND STILL there would be room for fenders, if necessary. That gives a perfect commuter and winter training bike !

You did indeed an EXCELLENT job here ! ... I wish this type would be still on sale, not necessarily from Centurion.

These are short reach brakes and there is room for 28mm, I think, at least that's what I plan to put on. The current tires are just some old ones I had laying around. We'll see about fenders, the rear tire doesn't have much clearance.

Thanks
