Hi Fellows!

This is my Centurion Elevator. It is a e-stay frame powdercoated in fluoricent green for the frame and purple for the forks. The pics do not really show the real collours :(

This frame originally came with XC Ltd and XC Pro components. The hubs and BB were XC Pro (with Grease Guard of course).

For the pics I put the fluo yellow Atac and the purple parts on and the whole setup looks very 'early nineties' :cool:

I think I let this one go. I need some space.

I am currently busy with the restoration of a blue TrailRunner Carbolite frameset. I will do it with a lot care and of course a lot love. The frame is said to have been of a priest who used it for riding around in Amsterdam and going to curch. I do not think the frame had to stand a lot abuse, but the paint was seriously hurt by a lock (a necessary piece in A'dam). The bike (full XTR) was traded in on a Litespeed with Rohloff.

I hope to take delivery of a very early S-Works M2 soon.

Yet another..... :D


What's the story with centurion? Not a brand I'm aware of. Any tie in with haro ?
 
Hi John,

They are German.... and that is about what I know. Okay and I also remember they had a FS model in there line up that was in fact a relabeled Mountain Cycle San Andreas.

This page from the 1993 Centurion catalogue shows the Elevator for that year:

I like mine a tiny bit more with its fluoricent collour and the straight blade fork.

So this is how a built one looks. Actually I will never reach that stage as the frame is already destinied to get a new home :cry: ...but I am sure they will take good care of it there. Good people.

I think a good bike, but of course not as good as the Elevator.
