Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

According to IRO website, Mark V is SOLD OUT.

The angus has the same geometry as the mark v, but it's got thinner round tubes and a threaded headset/fork.
i like the angus better than the mark v. go for it.

The sold out on the Mark V only appeared a few days ago. Anyone know if Revolution in Boston still has them in stock?

I'll put my cents in for the Angus too; it's not expensive, it's durable, and it's comfy.They were sold out of the orange ones at the beginning of the summer, but maybe they have some in now.

The Angus isn't drilled for brakes, is it?

I have an angus, much love. It's not the lightest or the fastest, but it's comfortable, reliable and good lookin'.

Shout out for paramount bicycle near davis. Tyler is the man. He had a pile of frames last time I was by, including a couple orange.

I gots an orange one, and it is tits. TITS I say.

Every other time I lock it up I end up answering a 15-question barrage from random strangers.
