Miami Vice Ironman Reiteration

My 17-year-old expressed an interest in riding the Ironman. So, loyal squire that I am, I changed the color scheme from white to black and upgraded to add better wheels (Ultegra and Mavic CPX 33) and 28mm Gators. As I worked on it, I realized what a very nice frame this is.

I measured the tires. Yes, they are 27.5. There seems to be adequate clearance.

That's beautiful...all that black feels intimidating haha. I feel like the bike is going to destroy anyone/thing in its path.
