Bikes: 2007 IRO Mark V fixed, 1971 Schwinn Spitfire stock newsie cruiser, 60's Schwinn Collegiate single speed, 1984 Azuki Imperial fixed, old unknown brand Tandem fixed.

i missed out on the buy (i would have gotten a 1" threaded), but i ordered a frameset from IRO this summer requesting a bike with no decals or badges and i'm wondering if i got one of the leftovers.

here are some pics:

DETAILS:
- flat black IRO "Mark V" frameset (no decals, name plates, etc)
- Mavic CXP22 wheels (new)
- flip/flop hub (new)
- Pake crankset 165mm/46tooth (new)
- surly 19 tooth cog for now (off old bike)
- quill pedals (off old bike)
- cane creek headset S3 (new)... threadless? the verdict is still out on this one. i'm open-minded.
- unknown stem (from bike co-op)
- chopped riser bars and grips (from co-op)
- sweet shimano bottom bracket cartridge (given to me)
- awesome shimano 105 brake given to me (with old co-op bmx lever from old bike)
- seat and post (from old bike)
- some janky as$ tires that i got for 1/2 price.. all black.. 700cX28 wide for cruising
- bmx chain (from old bike)
- new straps 1/2 off at some bike shop attached to old clips (from co-op)

so far, it is fuggin rad, but i am still new to using track geometry after 2 years on a roadie conversion. might put a 42 tooth chainring on and lower the teeth on the cog for a faster cadence... but for now, i just want to fugging ride it. ya know?
