Wheels are 27' - Araya rims on Suzue (?) hubs Shift levers are mounted on top of DT = Suntour Symmetric (trim the FD as you shift RD) HT is a lighter and contrasting color that kinda matches the decals Internal wiring = Yes RD = replaced many years ago, Suntour but model unknown Chromed right chainstay, chrome on top of seatstays at seat cluster. Some have written that this indicates the entire frame is chromed under the paint but I am skeptical. Had natural cork colored tape that really suited the paint. I'm guessing 84 model, 85 is possible. Thank-you for answering my questions. It has many of the features that were common to both 1983 & 1984, including the chome locations, contrasting head tube and top mount shifters.

However, the 1983 specs do not mention the lighting harness and now that I've looked at it again, it does not state your color among the finish options. Based on what I know about the serial numbers, 1983 should also be ruled out, but I wanted to make sure. So, I think we can safely rule out 1983. Everything matches 1984 with the possible exception of the wheels. The ad does not specifically state whether the tires/rims are 27' or 700C, but it does state 'Kevlar belted 32mm bullet proof skinwall tires'.

I find it difficult to believe that the ad would state a metric width for a 27' wheel/tire. It's a bit of a mystery, but stranger things have happened. Full Metal Airsoft Guns Canada.

I had hoped that there would be some feature that we could definitely rule out1 985, based on what I know about the 1984, but there doesn't appear to be. And the serial number appears to be from the later part of 1984, so it could still be either a 1984 or 1985 model. Thank-you, the pics do help.

The green/white Master is 1986 or 1987. Based on my current understanding of the serial numbers, the frame was built in 1986, but it was fairly late in the year, so it's probably a 1987 model. This would also be more appropriate for a 1988 purchase date. The LBS would have been more likely to have a left over 1987 Master than a 1986 Master. The Master, with the purple smoke finish that fades to white, is definitely a 1988 model.

This is my 2nd favourite of the all Centurion finishes. My favourite is the pink with yellow seat and head tubes. Just kidding, it's the blue marble marble that fades to white. In the very late 1980s Centurion was very avante-garde with their paint schemes. In my opinion, during this period Centurion had the most attractive paint schemes of all the Japanese bicycles. The LeMans is a 1989 model.

I love that purple/white paint job. I'm scouring the thrift stores and garge sales for one. Most likely the only place I'll see one is on ebay and not in my price range. Nice bikes raverson. Thank-you for answering my questions.

To my way of thinking, model years didn't matter quite so much back in the '80s. I do appreciate the info that my ProTour is either '84 - '85. The main thing for me is that it is still going strong as a fun ride. Not as light or stiff as my 'new' bikes, but by golly, a friction shifting 6 speed can be smooth and quiet. With the few upgrades I expect my ProTour will serve me well into the future. I was thinking after I posted it that the serial number more likely made it an 85.
