The complete bike is currently $480 if I recall correctly, and the geometry is similar to the Rush. Seatstay length and toe overlap are priorities for me, so a little more BB drop on the IRO is not a problem.
I think you mean the Van Ness. The Soma Rush is much cheaper, has track geometry, and doesn't have lugs. The IRO Phoenix geometry isn't anywhere near the Rush either. The Phoenix doesn't really have "road" geometry either....its more like cyclocross or touring. Do you even know what road geometry is?
