IRO Group Buy Frame Delivery
 

Hey, I'm starting this thread so we can share our impressions. Anybody gotten their frame yet?

not happening for a while, friend

i've decided that i'm going to eat a sub for lunch today on my way to class.

sweet tea. i want some of that too.


on a related note, both of my cats are awesome. the kitten is becoming steadily more awesome.


and who would have thought: the most destructive cat in the world would be a lapcat??

Ok lets look at this...the offer ended Feb 21st...Tony told us it would take about 3 months from the time of his oder to the factory to get the frames. So lets pretend for a moment that he placed that order on the 23rd (I would guess it might have been the next week but lets be optimistic here), that means that Tony will get the frames the last week in May IF everything goes as planned. Then Tony needs to inspect the order (did he get the right sizes and colors) and organize shipping...as well as get the rest of the money for the purchase. THEN the frames will ship. We are looking at mid June at best here gang.

so long as I can get it built up and such before I move to Boston I'm happy.

i called IRO last week and they said that the BF frames will likely be shipped in about two months.....grasschopper nailed it.

you coming here for school? or just because?

My friend got two kittens last night. They're sooooo cute. Generally I'm a manly man, but those little fuzzy things will make you go "awwwww" faster than you can say "ball of yarn."

Finally had to "part" with my 21 year old cat and can't wait to start over with a couple kittens.

In the meantime, one month down, two to go for the IRO frame.

All IRO group buy threads should be locked immediately,
until we know that the frames are shipping.

i was unhappy with the paint job on mine. I got it yesterday. but for 150 what can i expect, YOU KNOW?!

Mine came last week but they forgot to braze it together. I was wondering how they got the whole frame to fit in a poster tube till I opened it. It's cool though, for $150 bucks and the cost of a dozen or so things of JB weld I'll have a really nice frame. Sweet!

Has anyone tested whether JB Weld is better than Gorilla Glue? Are lugs then mandatory or only recommended? Were the stickers over or under the clear coat? Did you use a jig, or just the kitchen table and some shims? Are they shipping the tubes in alphabetical order or the order in which we signed up? Was there any bubble wrap around the tubes or were they just packed into the poster tube rubbing on each other? What is considered an okay rate to have a bike shop JB Weld together a frame if you aren't sure that your table top is perfectly flat?

I may have others depending on the answers to these.

Just wait. You'll probably get yours tomorrow.

P.S. I did nothing all day yesterday but wait for the UPS truck. When it finally got here, mine was all assembled, but they forgot the top tube. Can I just ride it that way?

Wow, sorry about the cat. It was pretty exciting to see her freak out over the two new kitties. I think she stayed up all last night playing "new mom."

ive been riding my frame for a month now

i should have probably sized up but it is fine for a roundtowntypebike

i dont know wtf the complaints about the paint are all about

mine is beeutiful

Hmmmmm...in another thread, a couple of people claimed to have gotten their frames already...don't tell me I was victimized by the sarcasm and irony that this forum seems to thrive on.....

BTW, mine arrived yesterday looking great, but with no wheels, cranks, BB, stem, seat, bars, no pedals, and NO BRAKES! WTF**********

i've just discovered that i can't pee and sneeze at the same time. it just cuts right off.

funny when that happens to me I end up getting pee and snot everywhere

i didnt even participate in this group buy, so last night at 11:45 p.m. i was surprised to hear the ups man knocking on my door saying he had an urgent delivery. and whaddya know! a brand new IRO frame, 53cm, blue. im guessing it was one of yours guys's that just got shipped to the wrong place. there was probably 1 number off in the shipping address or something. oh well! finders keepers, right? YAYYY, i cant wait to throw some gears on this baby!

I got my Rob Roy this week:
