Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear short shorts and crop tops.

You'd think we'd know all there is to know about these vintage rides but we keep learning and yearning for more.

Centurion Ironman set up as a commuter. I bought the frame for $40, teal Ironman fork (spray-canned black) for another $20. Rebuilt with all new bb, hs, etc. and full RX100 group. Suntour Superbe wheels. It only has a rusty 6 speed freewheel, but that is 4 gears more than I need on a 5 mile flat commute

How's the ride?
Junior Member
I don’t know yet… I’m really hoping to feel some “Dave Scott magic” to occasionally extend my commute home from 5 miles to 15 or more. My previous fat-tired commuter was uninspiring and just sufficient to get me to the train station and back.

Quill stem, headset and handlebar are from the original build.
Rims are Kinlin XR31T 24h front and 28h rear on red Bitex RAF12 and RAR12, Sapim Laser spokes - didn't go with asymmetrical XR31RT after reading of cracks.
All Ultegra R8000, except the crankset that is R8100 160mm. 11-32 rear, compact 50x34 front.
Kalloy One 35cm, Shimano Pro Race Control bar tape, Selle Italia SLR superflow S3 and PD-A600 SPD pedals from my parts bin.

If anyone is refurbishing an Iron Man frameset, I have a full set of Velocals decals. PM me if interested.
