Alright, the other difference (which i'm blown away hasn't been touched in the last three pages) is that the iro and pake are production bikes. they make thousands of them exactly the same every time. the DW bikes are CUSTOM - you are measured, think and work through the exact fit of your sizing, your riding style, and the events you'll be competing in and you get something that's tailored, not mass-produced.
that's a HUGE differnece.

Whatever guys, all three are black.
That's all that matters to me.
In fact, throw the Bareknuckle into that mix too.

Or at least I suppose that's what the jersey boys would say if they were here right now instead of at the clubs.

The published geometry for the Angus is something like a 73 degree seat tube and 72 degree head tube. I can "tell," I guess, because I have a stockpile of useless bike-related trivia in my brain. That, and the pretty internet pictures look different. I have no idea what the Pake's geometry is, but I'm guessing the person who compared the DW to the IRO and the Pake doesn't either. Hence it being a silly thing to say.
Please don't make assumptions about what I may or may not assume to be true. Thanks.

And i just said they look alike. And i still think they do...only bike geeks can tell any different. I obviously know that a DW is custom fit and has different seat stays. Who the hell cares.
