I've no complaints from my IRO Mark V. I got mine last summer when they had the Mark V's for $399
I wish it didn't have cable guides for a rear brake , but if you get a Angus or Mark V Pro that's a non issue. I kinda bought the wrong size frame. I bought a 56 but I think a 59 would be better, so in the future I might be buying a angus or mark v pro in 59 and selling my 56 frame.
