I wouldn’t be LOL’n. I feel a ban might be swung your way for being an immature c**t and not actually adding anything decent to the forum.

Iro have a number of frames in their collection. I currently ride a Rob Roy (they don’t make anymore), I like it - its my all rounder, touring, cross, city bike at the moment, i can run it single speed with back and front brakes. wide rear wheel spacing that can use 120-135mm. I has the curved seat stay and longer wheel base compared to the angus or the Mark v - they have tighter track geo.

There are a number of ppl riding IROs over seas and aren’t so popular here in Oz. there are a number of them shown on Fixedgeargallery.

But yeh. all i can say is that they’re solid and well built.

Hope this helps a little.

Jump on www.velospace.org and search ‘IRO’
Heaps of builds will come up and and alot of chat/comments about them.
That’d be a good place to start, other then that try and jump on some US forums and ask around there. Or just look for product reviews about em. I havent really heard a bad thing about them. I think the shit US dollar over the last year has seen less interest in IRO from Australia. Now that its good there defs a good frame option.

Yes, I do.
I like it a lot because it fits. I have the tiny Mark V HD which only takes 650c wheels, specifically made for midgets under 5’3. The one I have is made of cro-mo and is heavy.

I don’t know anything about any of their other frames, but if I was of a normal height, there are so many other options that I would pick before it.

I would not bother getting one shipped here because whatever shipping option they use is like $200 (I checked about a year and a half ago, didn’t end up getting mine until July this year when I could bring it home myself), but if you’re going to the US, then they have very affordable framesets with the current exchange rate.
