Thanks for the photos, that's a sharp bike.

I suddenly occurred to me that I might have a red one like this in a garage storage location that I abandoned years ago. I didn't know it was worth much and just kept the wheels iir.

I recognized that early SIS gruppo, and recall that my frame is on the big side that I now prefer, so might be my next project if it's still intact.

Somehow I just never had the Centurion brand on my radar until I found BikeForums C&V. I bought an orange Semi-Pro that came along later, but still wasn't reminded of that old Ironman, and even the Ironman(?) Carbon that I just bought failed to remind me of that old red bike that I bought cheaply while buying a Raleigh Pro, and then never worked on or rode.

No doubt some here will be convinced I must have lost my marbles. Even the old ProTour15 that I sold cheaply, what was I thinking? I'm thinking its the graphics style, from a time that just doesn't conjure any bicycle nostalgia with me for some reason. I raced motorcycles back then, and had chronic knee tendonitis that kept me off bicycles for all but the shorter rides during those years. I suppose also that the whole Ironman thing somehow completely failed to register with me back then, like "who is Dave Scott?".

So thanks for showing this one off, it looks nearly new.
