Swapped an Ironman today

My 89 Ironman Expert was a bit to big for me so I swapped it for this 87 Master which fits me perfect. It's a really
nice example. Took off the speedometer and switched to the original Shimano 600 pedals. The pervious owner liked flats

Very very clean, with a reliable group.

It's wet around here, so the fluted seatpost was the first to go when I found an Ironman.
