What happening at IRO Cycle?
Hey all,
I've been trying to order an IRO Mark V for the past few weeks and have been running into nothing but problems. Their website won't allow me to final submit my order, even after entering my Paypal information. The "contact us" section of the site is broken.
I finally called them late last week and spoke to someone who said they would look into the problem immediately. It still hasn't been fixed and now when I call back the same number it has been disconnected.
Anyone have an inside track on whats happening at IRO?? I would love to order a bike from them, but at this rate I'm ready to try another manufacturer.
Thanks,
Jesse

Hope they come back soon. I was wanting to order a set of cheap hubs from them but since they "reopened" they no longer have them listed =/

Your cog is slipping.
From the 'Ask Scrod' thread (yes, I'm quoting myself from my own thread):
A friend of mine recently tried to buy a pair of rims from them and couldn't get past the shopping cart. When she used the contact form on their site, she kept getting an error message. Tried to call but the phone was disconnected. She even went so far as to send them a message on facebook and never heard back. **** IRO.

It's pretty clear they haven't been taking care of business for a while. I suspect it's because of circumstances beyond their control, or those they are unwilling to control. I have no inside information.
I feel it's unfortunate, as I'm really happy with the transaction I had with them last year. I bought a complete bike, which I love, and they gave me really good service.
edit: and btw, those hubs on ebay are from IRO...see seller info. Makes you wonder...

I heard a while back the owners daughter died somehow. Not sure if that's what happened, but it popped into my head.

I hate that guy! It always looks like he has spray tan on his face but whoever did it went around his eyes

I used to leave the History Channel on for background noise. Over time that station started to air (and still does?) a lot of programs about e.t. influence on ancient civilizations. That guy is always included with his views on how humans couldn't have done anything without alien help

I turn to DVDs when I want to pretend I'm watching the History Channel in 1997.

I'm a total geek for WW2 aircraft and miss the old history channel. You don't play IL2 do you?

I tried to get a build kit (couldn't finish check out) and call - was ignored. took them like 3 months to accept my friend request on facebook, then they don't respond to messages.
