Ok, i missed a keyword in my posting, but this has got to take the cake !! Did Centurion outsource to Windsor a contract to sell racing bikes that were produced as Cinelli Clones (which is what Windsor is famous for), and did Centurion later eliminate the middleman and go straight to Cinelli ?

I don't think this bike is a repaint, and the badging is 100% 1970's Centurion, if i'm not mistaken. The country of origin and lugs say Windsor Pro, i knew that and asked the seller about it. I cannot imagine why anyone would repaint a windsor pro to look like a Centurion, kinda like repainting a ford mustang to look like a pontiac firebird ... why bother (please all you , firebird owners don't jump on me for this one ...)?
