Yeah, when I was looking into things, I found a whole Centurion/Novara/Tange 1 thread in C&V about how similar they are. I think you posted this bike there? I bet Novara merely contacted for some rebadged frames from the same factory Centurion was using at the time--keep the colors the same to save even more on production costs to sell a quality frame cheap. Such a nice ride with that tubing, great classic paint. Hand-brazed in Japan... squint a bit and it could be a Rivendell...

Really reminds me of this Douglas I owned briefly as well (although I think the Douglas was Tange Infinity, not #1):

The current config of the Bent Cent: Found a stem closer to the length I need so I re-installed the dorps. Yet to ride it.

I finally got back into cycling this year; I traded for this Specialized Langster NYC Edition and I *love* it!

Thinking about switching to a larger rear cog but other than that I think it's aces.

Pretty sure I've seen that bike before.

Hot as hell. You can take that red stripe off the stem with acetone I hear. That is, if it bothers you.

Or the stealth one, hah.

Pretty sure the only difference is Ti hardware, and different angles available anyway.
