I'm in a similar boat right now, I'm not sure weather to buy an IRO complete bike right now, or build my own. I've never built a bike before, but I'm pretty mechanically inclined and I think I'd enjoy it. I'm just concerned I would mess something up... or buy bad parts.
Oh the woes of biking!
P.S.: Quick question... Is an IRO Angus worth the extra $100 over a Mark V or Jamie Roy?
