Red and White Ironman Expert - think it's an' 86 - Ser # N6L639
Bought as complete bike with stock 105 setup, Nitto stem and bars, alloy (SR or Sugino?) seatpost with cast in height scale and steel clamp. Vetta Turbo style nubuck saddle, Wolber rims. Tange 1 tubing. I changed out all components except the headset, as you can probably see.
Will edit with pics and serial for my Miami Vice Expert and Cinelli Equipe.
While the serial number is in the gray region where it could be either a 1986 or 1987 model, the graphics indcate a 1987 Centurion Ironman Expert. This is corroborated by the presence of a Shimano New 105 headset, which was introduced for the 1987 model year.
