Send me your Centurion Ironman pics.....

If you'd like, and I'll collect them and maybe create a page somewhere, or a thread of photos only.
I'll divide it into categories, if I can....max 2 pics per bike, so I can mount them side by side.

We've already done an Ironman thread here, so a repeat of that is not what I have in mind....

Categorizing is up in the air. Could be year, model, but could also be OEM, upgrades, and even re-dos (from repaint to drewed)... I just don't know yet.

Please, no spam. I'm after a whole range of them. I like other Centurions, of course, but that's for the database...

PM me for my email and I'll send it that way....I'll assume I have permission to post the pics only. I will not post owner info.

If there's not a lot of response, I'll get it pulled. I'm hoping for 100 bikes, which means I need, uh, at least 94 more, besides what I've got, had, or am working on.....

Thanks.

Hi Robbie,
Do we currently have to own the bikes, or could we have re-sold them in the last year or two? If so, we have at least three I'll send your way. My wife is down to one as I mentioned to you earlier, but it is a beauty. This is a great idea by the way.

I distinctly remember a black/white rattlecan that was groovy.

Check your PM's - I handled a Master a couple of years ago that was real nice. I'd have kept it, but it was too small. Nice bike.

Hey Robbie, I thought I was supposed to be at the head of that line! Don't worry, I'll forgive you, provided you make it a Centurion Cinelli Equipe instead.

No problem, nice to see another older Lemans RS, and then to see Ironman bikes in 85, 86, 87, 88, prettty awesome. I think if you stay with the Master in '89, you'll have all the Masters and the two non-designated models. Wicked good.

It was great to see you again, Al. Nice way to end up 2009.

Added. Best 85 I've seen. Check it out, roccobike, those brake levers make it look really clean.

I am guessing you don't need any of mine then eh? I will send you some anyway once I have the winter weather cleaned off her and the STIs mounted. I'll send some of the Zunow too; frame-saver drying as we speak.

I sure do need one of yours. That'll give us 3 black ones, all cool.

Plenty of responses, but not near as many as I know have Ironman bikes...
In particular: a runner from Indiana, another from Long Island (complete restoration), a couple or three that I sold (or gave away to Arizona)...and a blue smoked fade that started me on this bike...

I'm working on figuring out how to post them en masse in big photos. I'm also trying to finish mine (two to finish)

I know of at least 5 red/white models in the two-tone, and one in the red fade...
No one has sent a black one
No blue smoked fade, yet.
There's an all-red one on eBay for sale (frame only, little) that's a rare color.

I'm working on it, may pull in some photos of some that are for sale, if the color/variety is right.

Bikes: A few BSO's.

I will send pics of my wife's 48cm Master as soon as I take some. I have a question re: Master<>Expert. Somewhere there is a post about the difference but I can't find it. AFAIK the frame is the same but components are different. I am going to look at a Master and if I knew what was stock it would be a great help to decide on buying it. Thanks.
Here's a bad picture.

Status:
1985 - 1 Red/Silver. There is a grey/silver one for sale, pics are bad
1986 - 2 Red/White. I wonder if any other colors are out there...
1987 - For some reason, I have 4, I think, of the art deco model, "the" Ironman, and a rare 1987 Master.
1987T - One excellent pic of a Terry model
1988 - A rare white-to-red fade Expert, 2 purple fade Masters, though the '87 art deco version looked the same in '88.
1988C- 2 carbons
1989 - 2 black and 1 grey marbled fade.
Re-Do's - Bob Barker sent two of his own design. A fellow BF member did a restoration on a purple smoked fade, would love to have good pics of that.

I know there is at least 1 1985 out there in the charcoal/grey
I know there are other colors in 1986 besides the red/white, there has to be
I know there are red/white 1987's, since I sold one (ascayola's friend) and there are yellow/white models, too.
For 1988, I know the red-to-white fades are out there, as are a few small solid red Experts (women's sizes) There is also a blue-to-white fade and a teal-to-white fade.
For 1989, I know there is a blue smoked fade out there, just don't know where it is. I sold one to a BF member 2 years ago, and dahossman has one.

I really thought there were more. I passed an open garage the other day, saw a red/white fade 88 Expert hanging in there. I didn't stop, but I plan to.

I am working through all of those. I'm trying to get it set up for a thread with pics and minimal text, go from 85 to 89 with bikes and BF member's names. I don't know about the specs yet, as most of these bikes are either OEM or quite modified.
