Given that I was already using 2015+ Chorus 11s on my other bike, seemed a shame to put Centaur on it. 3 bikes with Chorus later, the Centaur group is still homeless - if it had been silver, I'd have gladly put it on my 87 Pinarello, which instead got 10s Chorus. It's really not a bad group - doesnt have the fit anf finish of Chorus, and packs some extra grams, but all the reviews say performance is very good. Ultimately, it'll probably end up on my indoor trainer bike just to get away from the Shimano that's on it.
There was a beautiful colnago master light in art deco that was a pearl white with blue airbrushing that I always wanted, could see with that bike wanting something better.
