Centurion Ironman frames?
 
I've read about who built frames for the Ironmen but it's confusing. Can someone tell me who built these 2 Ironman frames?
The red one is a 87 expert and the green one is a 87 Master

The frames were manufactured by Japanese company named Nomura.

They were built by wizards.

I wanna know what kind of monster rear mech on the the green one requires an oversize (brake?) cable.....

Am guessing that is a mid 80's Dura Ace shift cable. They were somewhat stouter than the ones we see today. And more flexy-able.

They were originally built to be raced in the Coliseum, right?....

I love domino logic. Works for me.

Yes. They were real, and they were spectacular.

Could be a motorcycle cable?

It's odd that they're different width. Maybe the FD cable was replaced more recently?
