IRO mark V rear breaks?
i was planning on putting together a singlespeed IRO and like the Mark V frame, but on their site it says regarding the mark V pro frame and fork:
"There is no rear brake mount on the bridge"
but in the description for the regular mark V frame and fork it says:
"The frame and fork are drilled for standard road calipers in case you want to add brakes and use it as a single speed."
so i'm wondering if anyone can tell me if there are in fact mounts for a rear break on the regular mark V frame?
thanks

...And that would be the difference between the Mark V and the Mark V Pro.
My Mark V Pro did not come with a rear break, or I would have returned it immediately as a defective product. If your bike comes with a rear break, I would suggest the same.

strong words, Devolution. aeser wants to go SS, and a r. break--er, brake--is a good idea. in fact, whatever the f.u.c.k. somebody else wants on their bike is a good idea, as long as they want it on, and it's safe. it would be nice to see fixed/track culture be a little less severe with the coolness requirements.
aeser--the Mark V has brazed-on guides on the top tube and has a rear seatstay bridge that's drilled for a r. brake. the Mark V Pro is without these things. enjoy your ride.

Jeez . . . looks like Devolution was simply saying he wouldn't accept a bike that literally was broken in the rear. Or not.

REGULAR TUNE-UP: Lube all bearings, adjust shifters, align breaks
That, on top of crap-tastic service, is why they will get no more business from me.

'tyres' is the accepted British spelling, I think.
