I have an RB-1. Do I need an Ironman also?

I think we should rename the Post your Ironman... for the love of 80's paint jobs thread to Post your Ironman... for the love of Robbietunes

I have had both. The RB1 was a 93 and a real pleasure to ride. It was extremely stable on descents, that was my probably my favorite thing about it. Though I could never get 100% comfortable due to the long top tube they were designed with. My Ironman is an 87 and will probably be the last bike I ever part with, if I do so living.

you asked the wrong people if you wanted someone to talk you out of it. But you can put me in the majority opinion: I have 5 bicycles, and my ironman, while the least expensive, would be the keeper if I was forced to live with just one bike. In my case it is the one that fits my every day needs the best and puts a smile on my face every time I ride.
I use mine to commute-- so its a great reason to get out of bed and go to work!
