Hi all,
New here, be gentle. Anyone know anything about Iride steel frames? There is a beautiful new lugged Columbus SL Niobum frameset hanging on the wall in my LBS. Best as I can tell these frames have only been available in the US for about 3 years, and I haven't been able to find any first hand accounts of their riding characteristics or craftsmanship. I'm not worried about the tubes, they should perform beautifully, but can anyone speak to the quality of the brazing, or the general riding characteristics?
The LBS is offering a nice discount over MSRP which, if it's a solid piece of workmanship, would mean a great deal compared to a Cinelli Supercorsa Pista or other steel frame using Columbus tubing. If anyone has ridden one of these or built one I would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks.
Here is the frame I'm looking at:
