I'm down for an Angus framset.

A rusty orange or some kinda primered color would be cool but I want one regardless.

I support this. I like the idea of a unique color and all, but would prefer to keep it a bit understated, or at least somewhat moderate.

Prefer an Angus, but would take either so that's how I voted.

also, are the mark v and angus equal in tightness?

it would be a little tough stuffing a 1 1/8" fork in a 1" headtube.

also, since the "either" voters presumably havnt voted for either of the other coices, it looks like so far we have either 43 votes for angus or 36 Mark V. seems like this is actually pretty do-able.

the reason I want a Mark V over an Angus-- it is drilled for a rear brake. (and I already have an Angus...)

and thats only after 9 hours. Is it possible that we could get an even bigger discount for 100 frames?

sorry to feel the need to intercede, but has anyone checked out soma, spicer or the like?

i love tony, and i may even buy an iro in some funky color to support him (again), but it may not be the best deal going in town.

just the thought of being a frame manufacturer and getting a request for 100 frame sets is pretty mind-blowing.

I only want it if it isn't a color I can get from IRO. **** black or white or orange, and primer?! Seriously, if you want your bike to be primer, paint it yourself. Put some bondo on there while you are at it.

Naked, or glow in the dark, or technicolor.

i'm in for a Mark V, don't care about color. but it sort of depends on how much of a discount he'll give us... any idea on what that would be?

not too sure about that.... still a prototype. i think doing a group buy with them wouldn't be a bad idea. there are so many up sides that it could be beneficial for both parties.

If we can seriously commit to 70+ frames I would hope Tony would let us mix and match.
