Followed me home the other day. Here it is after a full deep clean and tune up. Full original 600 tri color group, and one of the wildest paint schemes, unfortunately like the last IM I found, one size too small so it'll go back in to the wild.

Man, if I could find a 56cm IM in that condition for $200, it'd follow me home too! Always nice to have a bike for the average Joe to ride when they visit.
Unfortunately I need a 60cm

Cool thanks, i need to find that derailieur for my 85 Ironman. There seems to be some confusion on what the bike had originally.

Finally got some modern wheels. Here's a new pic of my 89 Ironman. I picked up these modern yet cheap wheels from CL. I realize the reviews on these wheels aren't great but for 50 bucks including 2 new continental 4 season tires what's not to like? I have to get a new long stem tube when the LBS opens then it's off on a long ride to test them out. So far I like the new look. Putting some white wrap soon or changing saddle to black one. Later Irongents.

Here is a link to a slideshow I made of the pictures I took July 1st of my Centurion Ironman Expert Dave Scott. I recommend watching the slideshow at YouTube. Enjoy!

You actually think your Ironman is worth a slide show on YouTube?
Really?
Do you?
You think it's that special?
Well, of course, you're darn right. it is.
I do, too!
Good job.

Robbie, you do NOT want that bike. Hold out for an earlier Prestige in pink.

I saw that one on CL - i was trying to figure out if it was worth the drive or not -- (about a 10 hour RT- ouch) but it looks like its a 56 and im decidedly a 54
I wonder if the seller would be willing to drop it off at a local shop - perhapd they could pack it and send it on its way via BikeFlights for ya (if there is a local shop there that is)

Here's one in black. I forget what the Ironman version is called. Too big for me and kinda dirty, however good price. With a odd 160.00 Listing probably could talk them down some. It appears to be a 58cm possibly 56cm.

But if it were a 54, it likely would be in your garage now at that price, right?
Im done with buying bikes that arent my size
I enjoy seeing pics of what other people regard as "very very good condition and ready to ride" though
