What happening at IRO Cycle?
Hey all,
I've been trying to order an IRO Mark V for the past few weeks and have been running into nothing but problems. Their website won't allow me to final submit my order, even after entering my Paypal information. The "contact us" section of the site is broken.
I finally called them late last week and spoke to someone who said they would look into the problem immediately. It still hasn't been fixed and now when I call back the same number it has been disconnected.
Anyone have an inside track on whats happening at IRO?? I would love to order a bike from them, but at this rate I'm ready to try another manufacturer.
Thanks,
Jesse

From the 'Ask Scrod' thread (yes, I'm quoting myself from my own thread):
A friend of mine recently tried to buy a pair of rims from them and couldn't get past the shopping cart. When she used the contact form on their site, she kept getting an error message. Tried to call but the phone was disconnected. She even went so far as to send them a message on facebook and never heard back. **** IRO.

It's pretty clear they haven't been taking care of business for a while. I suspect it's because of circumstances beyond their control, or those they are unwilling to control. I have no inside information.
I feel it's unfortunate, as I'm really happy with the transaction I had with them last year. I bought a complete bike, which I love, and they gave me really good service.
edit: and btw, those hubs on ebay are from IRO...see seller info. Makes you wonder...

I used to leave the History Channel on for background noise. Over time that station started to air (and still does?) a lot of programs about e.t. influence on ancient civilizations. That guy is always included with his views on how humans couldn't have done anything without alien help

I'm a total geek for WW2 aircraft and miss the old history channel. You don't play IL2 do you?
