Yea but the screw bothers me a little on that...I am thinking a zip it might be the better choice. And that JB weld comment got me thinking. LOL

HOLY BALLS I AM FRIKIN CONFUSSED!

CAN THE OP PLEASE UPDATE HIS FIRST POST WHENEVER THERE ARE CHANGES OR ADDITIONS?!?!

I CHECK THIS THREAD 3-4 TIMES A DAY AND I STILL HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE F IS GOING ON!

WHERE IS THE ACTUAL DEPOSIT SITE?!?!?

sorry for the caps, but i feel as though my brain is gonna pop.

I'm in. I have 2 questions:
Will the fork be drilled for a brake?
If I get the 1 1/8 head will the top tube be wide like the Mark V?
Thanks in advance.

i put my deposit down and i'm just psyched as hell

www.irocycle.com

the info on that site is being updated as i type.

edit: here's the actual page

i've seen some jbweld cable stops that come out damn classy actually. a drop's all you need so it doesn't bleed out the sides. should be plenty strong.

OK, this is just an aesthetic suggestion, but I think the flat black bikes should have gloss black logos on them. That would really add to the stealth look.

anyone have any examples of frames that will be close to the colors tonys using, including the flat black?

are these bikes going to have logos on them?

this is an amazing deal. i plan on getting at least one. hopefully two!

i noticed that someone else from my town is ordering some. would it save tony money to have them shipped together?

Now to decide to stick with 1" and swap all my stuff over from my conversion (well, would get a new headset and seatpost at least) or go with the 1-1/8th and add a new stem, handlebar and all that.
Either way, getting at least one of these, 59cm in flat black

Because I'm having fun with this.
Artists conception:

I've just put my deposit in for a 53cm.

Any idea if the frame will have a deda tubing decal? I'd be nice to have it with the tubing upgrade.

BTW I'm #157

You rock.

Now... to get threaded, or threadless......Oh the decisions.

for those fretting about 1 vs. 1 1/8" tubes, here's a couple links to hopefully put your mind at ease:

you can always change your mind.

i wonder if theres over 100 orders if he will do an even bigger % of a discount.
**** im so stoked but i have to wait till friday to do my deposits

I just saw on Nashbar the Cane Creek 1 1/8 S-2 threadless headset for $24.45. Not bad!


Also, I believe that a much bigger percentage will get in on it, due to the choices we are now sure that we have. I for one bowed out but this became such a good deal, I can't pass on it.

As for getting an even bigger discount, let's not get greedy now!

Yeah, the headset conversions are available, my interest would be in the benefits of the different techs as you don't always get the choice of a frame with either for the same price (well, I haven't had that choice). That said, I'll be going with the more "modern" 1-1/8th though I'm sure I'd be happy either way.

Useful question time: Anybody know if the frame going to be faced/prepped? Squaring of the headset and bottom bracket and all. I'd guess that all IRO's are but tossing the question out there.

Hey, I like these... what are they and where do I get them?

I second that question

Campy Top Tube Cable casing clip

The same vendor has less pricey versions of the same thing in both metal, and plastic clips.

This is a good deal.

My questions are:

1. What will decals look like and will they be over or under clearcoat?

2. Why no cable stops?

I'll trade good answers for $.

BRG with promenade bars, a Brooks, a bag, and helllllllo Ladies?

Or FB parts swap from my KHS.... I won't know until February 20th.

now that this is set up, how about asking him to give us a special price break on his build kits.
