Yep, that's a good looking bike.

So the Mark V fixed is fixed only and the single speed is freewheel only? Which is easier to convert to flip flop? I'm going to call IRO later today with my questions and I'll let you know what I find out.

And thanks for the input on the gear ratio spaceballs. I'm hoping they'd be willing to put 28's on my prebuild, and the fact that your wife's came with them gives me hope. Just curious, did you receive the bars with white tape on them or did you do that yourself afterward?
