I currently have a Chromed bianchi pista 2008 61cm

but i dont like it cause it draws attention

Is the IRO ANGUS worth it ?

My friend says is its a really strong frame

Yes. I love mine. Sexy, and nicely priced. Wouldn't trade mine for anything:thumb:

If your only issue with the bike is that it draws attention, paint it black dude.

IROs really are something else. I didn't kno what to expect from them but then i ordered my Mark V and i was actually pretty impressed with the bike especially for the price. ( and i got mine for $430 new)

worth it though, and the Angus is no exception, however, why not go with the Mark V, threadless...mmmmmmmmm

Yeah, the IROs are worth their money and then some. In fact, the only negative thing I've heard (or read) was someone complaining about someone at IRO not getting back to them about shipping times as quickly as they wanted them to. With that in mind, I say go get one.

I love my pista, I also have a trek 5200 carbon and I am loving the pista more and more each day. I really cant find a problem, if you live in brooklyn like I do, you might get some flack for being a "hipster" but thats ok, If you dont like the paint, get a good paint job from a good powdercoat place!

IMO, don't trade a Bianchi for an IRO. I'm sure many will disagree here, but Bianchi has so much experience in quality manufacturing. IROs are supposed to be nice, but your bike now is a Bianchi, it doesn't really get much better...

It absolutely does get much better. The pista is an entry level fixed gear. The IRO angus I would consider more mid level.
