what are you gonna do with YOUR new iro?
i'm gonna turn mine into my dream bike... stealthy as a fox.
it's a black 62cm 1 1/8".
here's what i'm gonna do...
mavic cpx (silver) laced to formulas.
sugino rd / zen. sugino bb.
nitto b-018 bullhorns with green cork.
chris king headset.
nitto seatpost.
brooks b-17.
mks sylvan track pedals with mks toe clips and black leather straps.
and i'mma get a r.e.load frame pad for it too!
i pretty much want it to be entirely black and silver. it will rule, and it will be mega cheap too.
so what are you going to do with yours?

It's going to be my bar/grocery getter/tricks/commuter/bangaround/lockitup without worry bike, but with better fit than my current conversion. Finally I'll have a bike with mofo track ends. 
CXP22s to Formulas, Surly cog, d/a lockring, with Rubino Pros
FSA 'set, Salsa stem, steel risers, tektro lever, oury grips
Sora road cranks w/ Rocket Ring, shimano 105 bb.
Iro post, Brooks b17
Time ATAC XEs
ReLoad tt pad
105 brake
(most parts cannibalized from my current conversion)

I have some newly built phil's on open pros[front wheel should be done by sunday]
Since I have a few months. I'll probably get a carbon seat post, nitto stems[or two] and probably some track bars that are more narrow than my b123. Maybe Major taylors.

i don't think that's possible. it costs more to buy the parts separately.
