And now I see someone already said that...

My IRO (Mark V) came as completely assembled as a bike-in-a-box can be. Dropped seat/post into seat tube, mounted bars on stem, put front wheel in dropouts, spun on the pedals, added front brake and handle, taped the bars. That was it. It took 30 minutes in the kitchen.
Tony's wife answers the phone when he is busy (which is often). She doesn't attempt to provide tech service. It's more reliable to email him. I never had a message go unanswered.

Are IRO frames made in Italy? Hell no. Why was the caller even asking such a ridiculous question? Has anyone ever heard of a steel frame made in outside of Italy that has an Italian BB? I sure haven't. It sounds like the caller is the one who doesn't know what's going on and is trying to sound way smarter than he is.
