Change up the Ironman or leave alone?
I got some extra consumables and thought about changing the looks. Blackwalls or Veloflex skinwalls? Black tape and cables or blue? Or just leave it be? http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8uer3neg.jpg |
Leave. Change is a winter kinda time. Ride it my friend! |
If you have the skin walls already i say change em... they always look better with a vintage frame |
Either way, that's a nice bike.
|
Tan walls for sure.
But the Somec needs them first! 📣😀 |

I say leave it be. The Hilly Hundred is first weekend in October near Bloomington. I have a 13-28 freewheel if you need it. Hint freaking Hint.
If you go blue, make sure it's the same as the flag, eh? Then I would definitely understand. A blue Brooks Swallow, with matching blue wrap and Challenge bag, would be appropriate. Only cost more than the bike.... Does that cyclo get FM? |

White? |
I think white looks great and it’s very classy. But gets way to dirty on an everyday rider. |
I'd say skinwalls, and white tape and cables.

New tires, bar tape and Cinelli bars and stem upgrade. http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/...psyu8phnod.jpg |
Looking good Sloar. My Classic has tan walls too. What kind of wrap is that? It looks similar to the original bar wrap.

Fizik! |
I really like tan walls on my bikes, but I finally talked my buddy into selling me a Black Lightning. It’s gonna have blackwalls. |

Fizik! It was also advertised as lettered, which I wanted. So, I pulled the lettered "straight" wrap off of one bike to use where I intended the new, and put the new on my nicest white bike. The wrapping was intense, both hands on the wrap, keeping it tight to the bar, trying to line up the seems, etc. Probably took me 45 minutes. Worth it, though. Looks and feels good. We'll see how it rides. |
Looks perfect to my eyes. IMHO the blue would have been too fussy. And Concor is the right saddle choice. They just look better. It’s an empirical fact! |
Needs aero bars, right? :innocent:

If aero bars were on it, it would resemble mine. |
Hey tex , just noticed the seat post . It's cool . D/A ?

Love those skin walls on your Classic [MENTION=139746]sloar[/MENTION] . Black walls look good but on a Classic 86' IM , not so much IMO .
