IRO Cycles
So what actually happened to IRO Cycles? Does anyone know?
I took a couple of years off from cycling and during that time they went from pretty prominent in the FGSS market to... well, I think right now there's a couple of hubs, a wheel-set, and some sprockets on eBay.
Did they just up and disappear one day? Did some horrible disaster strike them?
I'm just curious, and I can't find anything other than "they stopped responding to customers".

The owner got sick. The family took over for selling the rest of the inventory. I don't think there was ever an announcement of him dying officially but it seemed like it must have been pretty severe.

Oh, that sucks. I'm sorry to hear that.
