Has anyone considered asking Tony to add a seatpost collar into their order? At least, anyone who has gotten ahold of him.

Black, 53cm, 1 1/8" HT, received notice 6/21, finished order 6/23, no shipping notice. Of course, the green's classy as hell and I kinda want it, but I want to see the black first.

yup. I ordered one w/my frameset($4) but it didn't say what color it will be. I hope he sends a silver one with my order.

+1. There should be a completed build thread by now. How about a mock-up at least?

Sorry, didn't clarify enough. I knew you could order one with your frame (I did), but has anyone who did not initially order a seatpost collar asked Tony to amend their order to include one?

I was all amped on green, because green is definitely my
favorite color, but I kind of hate the green in those pictures.
Good thing I ordered a blue, too!

I e-mailed him the day after I paid and he said he'd take care of it. Also: blue frame, no shipping e-mail yet. Calm down, people!

Call them and ask them to hold it for pick up, if they allow it at that location.

You're going to ride there, and then ride back carrying a frame?

Are you just supposed to purchase the frame that matches the description of the one you ordered on the website or are you supposed to get an email from IRO?

Nope. The e-mail will have the code you need to get the right price and the link to the appropriate frame type.
