whoa. CHECK the attitude.

if you read the entire post you would see that most of these people did use the telephone and that he was out of town for a week. good try though.

also, i ordered my bicycle today and i am so incredibly happy right now.

I love it but I haven't gotten to ride it much yet, and I need to swap out the saddle, ****ty temp. pedals I put on it and probably the drop bars. I'll definitely watch out for the badge coming loose.

I'm still waiting to see another one on the road..

Yeah the '07 does have an integrated headset. My friend has an '06 and loves it like a family member. He's had no headset issues, but has only put a few hundred miles in as of yet.

Yeah, once it's setup right, it's the bees ****in' knees. I haven't seen another one yet in person.

I went ahead and ordered a langster from my local bike shop. I figured I wasn't going to hear anything from IRO and prefer to support the locals. I've ridden the Raleigh rush hour and loved it. I also rode a Van Dessel country bob which was a weird ride. I test rode a langster that was too small for me and it felt pretty good, but it is still a little weird to order a bike and not have ridden the exact model. My fingers are crossed and the bank account prepped!

Hope it works out. I was definitely worried getting the iro without test riding one, but it turned out great.
