I hate to argue, but based on what I've seen, Cankles is the first '85 I've seen WITHOUT a pump peg. Mine certainly has one, painted 'titanium' just like the head tube. Maybe the peg was introduced...

If I lived in Virginia Beach, I'd be all over that like white on rice, even though I just bought a 58cm 1985 Ironman last month.
