Well I've finally joined the cult. Ironman content.
Well I have finally drank the Ironman kool-aid and bought an '87 in "Miami Vice" colors. I'm really digging the colors on this bike. I have never seen the MV version in person but the colors really pop in person. I haven't had to chance to ride this beauty yet but I can't wait and when I do I'll report back. I got this immaculate example from fellow forumite brockd15 and he went above and beyond the call to help me get this bike. Thanks man you're a stand up guy and I'd like to thank you again.
Here she is in all her 80's goodness.

NICE Score. i couldn't find one in my area that fit me, so i ended up getting a Centurion Lemans, but I've parted out everything and will be building my modern interpretation of the Ironman soon.
on a side note, i posted the parts on CL and no response, so i decided to try Fleebay and what do you know, Just posted the wheels on this morning and they sold real quick this afternoon.

I also own a 1987 'Miami Vice'. You either love or hate the color combination. I have gotten quite a few positive comments about the bike. You will love your new bike.

Nice to see you scored a taller one! My "purple haze fade" Master is just a bit shorter than I'd like. I usually ride 63cm/25'' frames, but this is a 24'' one. Still love it, though.

I'm glad to hear it made it back safe and sound!
I thought it was a nice example, and since it was slightly bigger than what I prefer, I'm glad it was able to go to someone who can appreciate it.
Enjoy!
