I loved the Ironman bikes the first time I saw one a couple years ago. Then I read all the good stuff Mr Sheldon Brown had to say about Centurions.
I now own 5 Ironmans.
Actually, that page was not written by Sheldon Brown; it's written by BF's own A.Winthrop. He's a very pleasant fellow and would be happy to give you his opinion on the ride, I'm sure. RobbieTunes, another BF member and Centurion aficionado, will likely drop by and offer his feedback.
If you do acquire a new frame, be sure to use the same wheels and tires for the comparison.
