Got my new IRO JR today....
Just got my Jamie Roy frame, IRO rear hub and headset in the mail today. I'm pretty impressed. The frame is functional and decent quality, as is the hub. The frame was very well packed and shipped quickly-and as a bonus the guys at IRO even pressed in my headset cups for me. They also gave me a break with customs charges, which was considerate. I am very pleased. I'd do business with them again in a heartbeat. Just got to rustle up some parts for the build and I'm ready to rock.

Slapped it together last night. It rides pretty sweet. I like that I can fit some small knobbies and fenders for winter action. Here's a pic.

Bikeofile, just discovered your website, "Gold, Pure Gold My Friend!" as my friend would say. Nice to see some Canadian online shops starting up, and you never know, maybe in a while you will be sending some stuff my way 
You have nice prices too, and I love the free shipping.
