Gallery: Dartanyon’s 1984 Centurion Elite GT
My bike is certainly not a Pashley or a Velorbis, but it is beautiful (at least to me) and it rides like warm butter … oh so smooth. It’s a 1984 Centurion Elite GT. 18 Speeds of original Suntour love. I’ve added new bars, stem, pedals, converted to bar end shifters, new levers and shifters, and tossed a new rack on to make going to get groceries a little easier. Since it’s summer in Seattle, the fenders and lights are off at the moment. It’s my daily ride, and only (road) bike. It takes me 26 miles round trip every day to my job, and of course makes all the grocery store runs (as well as, chinese, pizza, and fish and chips). I hope you’ll add it to the gallery! And send me some pedals… (I’m building a LHT for my wife!) —Dartanyon
