Different colored IRO's? (green?)
I know Anguses come in black and orange, and that Mark V's come in black, but I've also seen some other colors around like green. Does Tony take requests for different colors, or do you have to paint it yourself if you want a different color?

earlier on in the company's history there was a powdercoating option.
i know this because when i bought my mark v i wanted it powdercoated orange. tony told me they no longer worked with that company, can't remember why.
then, this year, the angus comes out. sleeker, oranger, better.
that's right, ******** oranger.
in the end i kept mine black, as a new coat of paint on top of a new coat of paint seemed like it might make me a bad enviromentalist.

Tony sent me an e-mail saying I could select from any of these colors for an extra $150.

Back in February the guys at Montano Velo on Piedmont were saying they were going to get a special edition in white this year. Looks cool, but then your Angus is no longer the steaky goodness of "black angus". Steak is good.
