OK, guys, I got the Ironman in from geekrunner, Post #555 on this tread, packed quite well with no damage.
First impresssions are that someone rode the bike and took care of it, which I like.
Several pleasant surprises:
The bars are Cinelli 64-40 Giro d'Italia, which JunkYardBike may find amusing, since I just traded him for an identical one. The stem is Cinelli, 140mm. Someone had some long arms.
The brake levers are DC Gran Compe, as are those red hoods which are in great shape. The levers have permanently attached "lead" cable housing.
The calipers and the rest of the OEM group are Shimano 600 EX, the 6200 series. The stuff is in great shape and the cranks are 175, rings are BioPace 52/42.
The rims are Wolber Super Alpines, great condition, hubs the OEM 600EX, spokes great. The tires are Michelin 700x28's and they're coming off.
The saddle, as I suspected, is a cover. It is a Selle Italia Turbo cover, on top of a near NOS black suede Selle Italia Turbo saddle. Seat post is 27.0 Sugino
The frame is the standard Ironman Tange 1, with the upper sticker missing due to the Atmos frame pump that is in great shape. There is no rust, the normal wear and tear, and the only other decal missing is the headbadge. That year was pretty simple, so I'll either duplicate it or do a RobbieTunes logo there.
All in all, a nice bike, well packed and ready to be restored. It's right in line behind the Turbo frame you see earlier in this thread, and ahead of the Prestige frame you see above. A nice trio, and RobbieTunes is about tapped out.
