Protip: If you've got the money start with a Mark V or one of the IRO groupbuys if you're real serious about it. Otherwise look for a well kept non-french roadie with horizontal d/o's.
What if you cant get into one of the IRO group buys? Is the IRO
Jamie Roy fully built up by IRO decent? It looks like it isnt a terribly bad deal and the parts seem ok ...
