Used for triathlons in the late 80's, sitting in a basement since. Cleaned up and all original. Haven't seen any other silver/gunmetal Ironmans...anybody got info on this color combination? Matches the dark gray Wolber/MA40 perfectly!

Came with the bike. I think

Original to the bike...when I bought it. I think it might actually be made by Shimmano.

Thanks! I've heard disaster

Submitted by Flat Four on 06/25/2009.

Thanks! I've heard disaster stories with the Biopace too, but I've only been riding this bike about 3 weeks. Pretty smooth so far, although I can't really feel that much of a difference with the funky "oval-ness" of the chainring.

yeah they work!

i got the bike and I have already sold it again, but I think the biopace rings do work well for steady efforts. I read that they actually are effective, but shimano did not market them well and people didn't really go for them.
