1988 Centurion Ironman Master
 
Dark tires look OK on this?

Yes, dark tires are in fashion.

Are those GK 26s? I used those on my IM for Erica CA. Nice IM with TriColor.

Very nice. Set up well - meaning = as I would! 60cm? :thumb:
[Flat ramp to hoods, long-ish stem, very slight angle @ drops, not too much (4-6cm?) saddle/bar drop]

Dark tan (brown?) sidewalls will get darker. Blends with brakes.
Black tires would work too, maybe with a different bar wrap when that white won't clean. It is an Ironman, therefore meant to be ridden with a good effort, as it were in its' early days.

Yes

Generally, I prefer tan wall tires with silver rims and dark colored frames and black wall tires with silver rims and light colored frames. However, in your case, I think the brown side walls look good with the dark colored rims.

Dude...

That bike would make Speedblends look good.

(I don't care what anybody who's wrong says, Centurion smoke-fades are the business.)
