Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

relevant info:
link to the site
amount and deadline for deposit
available color/headtube options
estimated time of arrival
method of paying remaining amount
maybe a note about iro's funny sizing
anything else you can think of

that's the stuff people need. just so they don't have to keep up with this mess.
Yeah, I should've known better

Thoughts on posting this elsewhere? The pedalforce groupbuy was posted on the bike subforum of the VWVortex car site and got a number of orders. This is a bit more of a niche product but you never know. I suppose that with the deal being posted directly on IRO it's open for the world anyways, off to the vortex...

From what I understand, it's by frames not people.

Assuming I actually want a giant penis on my unicycle instead of iro, do you know if the iro decal will be under or over the clear coat?

there is no point in cutting it off before that because that is the date when tony will be ordering the frames because he has to order some other frames as well
