Here's one for the collective minds. Obviously, for good or bad reasons, or for no reason at all, Centurion Ironman is the king of vintage "triathlon " bikes, but how many other bikes were touted or at least branded as triathlon bikes but we're in reality just road bikes? But name the model.
Peugeot triathlon.
Nishiki triA.
Pinarello triathlon victory.
fuji and Bridgestone had them but I don't remember the model name. My guess if searching, they're all from the early '80s. Also some things I guess were triathlon specific like trying to keep it aerodynamic and most bikies will say the geometry was different to make handling easier for wanbabe cyclist or maybe because it made riding 112 miles easier. Also too the quality and price was mid range
Today there are really triathlon specific bikes but man apparently price is no object.
