IRO Re-opening sale.
Just thought I'd give everyone the heads up.
www.irocycle.com
Feb. 8th is Tony's re-opening and it looks like he's offering a discount on orders (I assume only orders placed that day). Looks like it's 6 days until I order my new bike!!!!
For people that have ordered direct from IRO in the past, what did shipping run you on top of the price of the bike? TIA.

****ing awesome. i've been trying to order my wheels for a month, and they should be in stock now. i was going to order them on the 8th anyway, so i might as well save 10% when i do.

Yes, it's drilled for a long reach brake. Some have gotten away with a short reach, but typically it needs a long reach.

Saddles are for people with butts. I had mine removed long ago to save grams. Luckily, I hated sitting down anyway. Sleeping standing up is the jam.
