So here it is - just arrived yesterday. I am enjoying the hell out of it so far.

mattonabike

i dunno if it's the utter blackness or the combination of it in front of all that concrete, but the more pictures i see of iros, the more i want one. i might have to bump up the date i order my jamie roy.

enjoy.

do IRO completes come with RPM cranks, now?

SURFER1316

here's mine, bought it used off a buddy with a stripped rear hub, bought a new one from Tony and relaced my first wheel the week before monster track, been riding fixed since and wouldn't want it any other way; unfortunately I popped two spokes hitting a big pothole, so it's been outta commision for 2 days or so, hopefully have time to fix it in the next day or two

but lets be honest, we all love our bikes for a reason, it's a great bike, and thats something to be proud of today, not many guys have the pride and love for what they do, and Tony does, haha, as a broke ass college kid, I'm happy to know if my moneys going out the door, it's going to somebody like him; if u read this, keep up the good work, and congrats on the kid

I totally agree. I want to get a white Jamie Roy with all black everything else. I think that would look sweeter than honey.

nme

I really need to take better pics of my bikes...

Probably a dumb question, are those hyperspeed tires any good? They came on mine and seem decent enough, I guess, but I'm no big skidder or anything.

-=(8)=-

Did you paint the rims ? Velocitys ?
Sorry for stupid question but I dont know too much about parts 'n stuff.

Do you believe imitation is a sincere form of flattery ??

krillz

no those tires are absolute suck. i flatted 5 minutes into my first ride on my bike. and every time i rode them afterwards as well.

New wheels demanded the black tape; Cinelli Cork is oh-so-sweet. I love the bike this way.

jyossarian

Nope, they're blue deep V's. I think I asked Tony if he had a blue King headset, but he didn't have one in stock so I went w/ the silver one. I did meet a guy in CP riding w/ blue spray painted mtb rims. His bike was also covered in Dora stickers that his young daughter, aka his design consultant, put on. He was doing wheelies and stoppies so I guess the stickers helped.

Hey, seeing as how the headbadge on the IRO is a white belt, the archetypal hipster stereotype, is Tony trying to make fun of us?

slopvehicle

Agreed. They're like magnets for cactus thorns. And I mean the big, flared, rock-hard evil kind of thorn. Hold the tread between your thumb and forefinger-- they feel like paper compared to the usual kevlar-reinforced tire.

seasponge

how is that thing attached? take it off

No_Minkah

um glue I think, but why?

baxtefer

why does Tony insist on cutting the steerers so short?

A pic from the polo fields tonight of my angus all dolled up:

i'm looking for a set of new tires for the mark v.
the hypersonic on the rear is wearing thin. i have a set of Vredestein Volante 700x23 i could throw on but i kinda wanted to see how a bigger tire felt. how big a tire do you think my 53 mark v has clearance for?

sers

700x28

hello thar. sexay

No_Minkah

your saddle angle hurts my gondolas.

nme

Haha i took that pic before i rode it. The saddle wasnt even adjusted. Its okay gonads the saddle is different now

Integral

That bike looks so good!

Did you go with the standard wheels, or the delux wheels?

I need more pics of that beauty.

nme

The wheelset is standard. I just told tony i want a stock complete jamie roy with everything black. When i take more photos ill post
