1988(?) Centurion LeMans RS?
This LeMans RS popped up today locally. Searches seems to put it around 1987-88ish. I'm thinking of adding another vintage steel road bike to the stable.
What can the collective say about this bike? I think it was originally spec'd with Biopace chainrings. Tange 2 tubing?
Waiting on pics of the drive side to see components.

I had an ‘89, which may account for more differences than just the year. I think this was the first year these were made in Taiwan and not Japan.
Nice bike, no complaints about any part of it.

thanks for the input but all for naught. Sometimes you miss out on deals because you have to work all day......
