you are probably aware but if not the Pro-Tour has internal frame provisions for generator wiring.
Vintage Centruion Pro-Tour
Very cool! I had to go look up the Elite GT as I was not familiar.
It looks like they were very similar bikes, except that yours was Tange 900 vs the ProTour with Tange #2, and it looks like the cranks were different (the ProTour having Sugino A. cranks) with about $100 difference in original price. Cool stuff.
I believe my bike to be a late '83 based on the serial number: N3S0028 - but maybe I'm not decoding it correctly
Yes, I think the internal wiring thing is so cool! Unfortunately the original BB was long gone when I got the bike, as were any wires. Seems like it would be a nightmare trying to snake wires through the frame? Wonder how they did that.
I wonder why they offered 2 bikes so similar to one another
