where did IRO come from?

where are the iro frames sourced? the logic follows this....if The Hour=Flite 100, Formula Hub=every qualioty budget hub out there, etc etc.

What is the story with IRO? i got to thinking last night, Ive owned a mark v for close to a year. The way that the fork/track ends are welded on to the seat stay/chain stays sort of makes me think that these frames were/are sourced from a factory that generally serves a major bike company. I dont want to say/think that its just (for an example) a trek frame with different ends welded on. That wouldnt make sense because the BB is higher. Or, did Tony/iro subcontract his design to have it made?

What is the story? i ask because the design process is always interesting.

oh yah, another iro thread right?
