You realize that's 1000 Pounds. You will get creamed on the exchange rate and the probably the shipping too.

As of today, 1000 Pounds is about $1800.

you are spot on... i just did the conversion. oh well that is the type of ride that i am after.
i guess i could go the route of the IRO. any opinions on them?

Good solid frames. I built a Jamie Roy for my brother and used a cross check fork so that he can run fatties. There are a few on this board that have the new Mark V and it looks to be a great setup. Depends on whether you want the steel or alu. Also, the Alu. is 130mm spacing whereas the V is 120.

sohi i both love and hate you, they're selling my size, I wanted to do some track racing next year but my bank balance is woah negative and i'm not gonna get paid for another two months

I am in a similar situation thats why I post it here. otherwise I might have placed a bid. :(

I have the IRO Mark V. I love it. Very stiff and strong. A fantastic deal for the money. It looks a lot better than on the site too. I only got the frame and pieced the rest together over a period of about 3 months. There were no nasty suprises. Everything fits great and Tony the owner of IRO is very pleasant and helpful to deal with. I also bought the IRO hubs with velocity deep Vs and so far they are performing as great as the frame. I have been riding the bike at least 15 miles a day and often more for past 3 months and still am super excited everytime I get on the saddle. I'll be happy to help out with build tips too, should you need any. Also, so far I have not seen any negative IRO reviews.

a friend of mine has a mark v
