My husband took us to Colorado this year for a cycling vacation and while turning off the hwy to get to our airbnb, I spotted this '87 Ironman sitting outside at a pawn shop. It looked to be Adam's size but figured the guy would want an arm and a leg for it as it looked super clean even from across the street. We got it for a song and brought it home even though the seat tube is a tad bigger than what he normally rides. It was too good of a deal to leave it sitting outside in a small nowhere town. He modified it a bit to suit his tastes from parts we had in the parts bins and took it for it's maiden voyage this morning. I enjoy looking at the pretty colors while we ride.

2 Ironmans, one is flashy, one not so much

He has always wanted a radial laced front wheel, 32's keep it comfy.
