I have 2 Miami Vice pink and yellow Iron Man Experts, a 1986 and a 1987. The 1986 is a 6 speed with a 126mm rear width and a Shimano 600EX gruppo. The 1987 is a 7 speed with a 130mm rear. It's equipped with the then new Shimano 105 "economy" gruppo.
I was a fan of Miami Vice back in the 80s and I liked the Don Johnson color themes from that era.
I bought the 87 dirt cheap ($40). It had been used by someone doing triathlons down in SoCal and the seatpost was frozen into the seat tube. It took me about 3 hours to cut it out.
I picked up the 86 in much better condition off of eBay.
The bikes are well made and handle in a way that probably would appeal to a tri-athlete - they go straight ahead no matter what!
Aside from that, I don't care for the lack of a fork crown with the fork blades curved at the top and TIG welded onto the steerer tube which was popular in the late 80s.
