WHOA this thing is huge ! No way is it a 58 But I do love the way those seat stays get more vertical on the big bikes .

It's been 10+ years ago, but IIRC this was the IM frame that was given to me for free. (I had another one I repainted black/white, and an '86 I had bought new). And there was a reason it was free - lots of lost paint, & rust I needed to stop before it became a problem.

Just picked this up, It needs to be cleaned up and a few repairs made but she is solid a 1988 Master! 62cm (yes another, this makes a 85, 87:E,M, 88:M, 89:E)
It was mostly all original except its missing the Original Araya CTL-370/Shimano 600 wheels. Got the stem moved up and tore most of it down for R&R more pics to come !

RT, The 54cm Centurion in the background is a 1987 LeMans with a Dented seattube and bent rear triangle. It was saved for me by our shop manager at the Bike Co-Op here in town, Where i am a volunteer at.
I brought it home and put it in the rafters for now, not sure what i am going to do with it. but its a late Centurion! ..lol Ohh the sickness

That yellow one is in good shape. Looks more like a 60-62.
Maybe they are measuring between the BB and the TT.

Well,
I just joined the club and found one today for a great price, it even came with the "owners" manual. It has a uni-crown fork and appears to be in very nice condition, no dents chips or decal damage and I think original tires!.....too dark for pics but will post pre and post clean up.
Regards, Ben

Somewhat slow older guy
Wheelset,maybe, feels heavy on the back. I just picked it up and went "hmm, this is heavy." Almost afraid to weigh it. I do know the stem is no lightweight, but the seatpost definitely is, as is the saddle. Crankset /BBis not heavy, was actually lighter than the Octalink/FSA combo I was planning. Could also be the tool kit in that bag. Probably is the wheelset. SSR in the early years was aero and light, got heavier in later versions.
It does ride nicely, though.

I'd be interested in finding an '88 Master in a 58cm (56 c-to-c) frame. I've got a few to trade, if anyone is interested; '88 Master 56cm, '89 Expert 58cm, '87 Master 48cm Salmon, etc.
