Centurion Ironman bike

[Tim s]

I picked this up from a guy at a bike swap in New Jersey. I like the colors and the history of the Ironman bikes. These are the before detailing pics and I will post some after pics soon. Tim

I finished it up this morning and plan to move it along soon, enjoy the pics. Tim

Thanks Gary, it is my therapy/ hobby. Tim

My son has his own house now and I noticed that every time he came home he looked at and commented on this bike. It now hangs on the wall in his house in the living room. And now you know the rest of the story.

Is this the starting point for your Son, or does he have more cool pieces in his basement?

I purchased the predecessor to the Ironman new in 1984. still have it. the "Comp TA", they had to change the name because BF Goodrich had Comp TA tires. mine is Shimano 600

I’ve been bitten by the Centurion bug as well, nice quality bikes and a bit under valued.

My Pro Tour says hello!

I think it is a start but only time will tell. I told him to pick one of my classic road bikes and he picked a 1984 Raleigh Super Course. His current house is old and small so he cannot go too wild with collecting bikes just yet. I have given bikes to the people who I am closest to and I restored/ detailed each of those bikes. Tim

Fritz, that bike is beautiful, I love the look with the fenders and the color. I need to keep an eye out for one of those in a 25 inch frame. Tim
