Ironman II

It's true - I was shocked I got it. Haven't had much luck on ebay lately. As I told Robbie... here I am getting number II and I have the purple fade in pieces. It got me motivated on a nice (45 degree) November day to go out and start cleaning it. I hand cleaned the chain, bottom bracket and both derailuers. That included wiping the grease off of each ball bearing after a good soaking in Simple Green and a squirt of dry lube to keep them clean until they can be reassembled. The other parts got the same bath and a good scrubbing with a toothbrush. They clean up nice.

I'll post pictures and update the database when I receive the bike. I also need to add the purple fade. I can't read the serial number but I will after a strip and powder coat. Thanks to JR who recreated all of the 88 Master decals. He now has them on file. I'm looking for a good airbrush guy to recreate the purple fade and smoke swirl. Getting close...
