My Miami Mistake
I drove up to Oklahoma City to buy this Miami Vice and another Expert. The ad said 54 CM which is my height. In all of my excitement, I didn’t measure the bike and it turns out it’s a 58 CM. 🤬 The funny thing is I didn’t notice it until I built it and started washing it. I was scrubbing it and I thought, huh this is big for 54 CM. 🤦🏻♂️

The nominal specs for Ironmen puzzles me because I can't find any standard tube measurement method that equals 56 or 58 cm.
Anyway, my rough gauge is three fingers between the frame pump peg and downtube.

I have too many bikes, having picked up a modern Colnago, a Coppi, and an Exxon Graftek. So, you're going to have to make it up some other way.....

When I measure that way my Ironman is 58cm. Makes sense. Subjectively it feels a bit larger than my 56cm carbon fiber bike (and I prefer longer stems on the carbon fiber bikes), but it's hard to compare measurements of compact frames and horizontal top tube frames.

JDM Expert
Here’s something you don’t see everyday. I picked up this 1988 Japanese Domestic Market Expert from a veteran who bought it new in Japan. It doesn’t say Ironman as they didn’t recognize the Ironman overseas and it’s in a color combo not offered in the states. I threw on some tires and wrapped the bars in black Brooks tape to change the look up.

Seypat has a '87 Japanese mkt expert.
What's the serial number?
