IRO Groupbuy email
Just got an email from Tony saying the frames would be ready to ship soon and a link to a checkout. There are options for complete builds, but does anyone know what parts the build kits actually come with.

I would assume the IRO parts his standard build include.
Oh and don't be an idiot like me and freak out at the $500 price...it will correct once you put in the code at checkout....I'm a tool. LOL
Now where are those Miche parts.......

The $500 thing had me mystified for a moment as well. All is well now. $117 shipped with a seat post collar thrown on. Mine is green as well.

The $500 was pretty scary at first. I don't understand the shipping option of 3 day delivery for $30 vs. the $13 standard delivery in 2 business days. Mine's green as well.

Yeah, I got a green one, and I got the email. Eat it, people who don't like green! I wonder how close to delivery they actually are.

I paid. I'm just going with regular UPS shipping. I also got a rear hub to make building the wheels easier (so i don't go crazy trying to find a hub later while i'm building it up).

As witnessed by everyone w/ an email, green is the fastest color.

Green here and got the email. So do we pay for the green now and wait for the another email for the other color frame? The email was not too informative. Anybody email Tony and get an answer?

Yeah, I got an email and I ordered one green, but I also ordered
one black and one blue, so I guess I should wait and combine
shipping.

I screwed up, and didn't enter the code. Duh! Anyways, I called to correct it, and talked to Tony. He said the container arrives on the 23, and the frames will ship shortly after that. I'm assuming everyone will be getting emails soon, regardless of what color you ordered, since obviously they are all arriving at once.
