Hi, here is the plan. Wednesday we unloaaded a container with 291 boxes of frames and forks. For a total of 551 framesets. We shipped as many Green Frames we could on Thursday. Friday we went riding ( testing out some 29er prototypes ) . Monday we will ship as many blue framesets as we can. Tuesday as many black frames and then Have a BBQ on Wednesday. Thursday go back to the IRO Orders along with the group buy orders.
If my wife goes into labor early for child #8 all bets are off.
Tony
Oh yea, black seatpost colars only.
No combined shipping it's one frame to a box.

Congrats on the little one.
I'm in no rush for my frame. I want it, but I have other bikes to distract me. Take your time.
As for the Ontario shipping thing: I'm the canadian from further up who was also alarmed at the shipping. I emailed Tony and he promptly replied that my card would be refunded the difference for the actual shipping to Canada, which is always via USPS, not UPS. The website is a mistake.
Tony to the rescue.
All I can think about is that this group-buy seems to have turned into a super big headache for Tony. I hope he doesn't hate us for this...

I got mine friday and did a quick look to make sure there were no dings or whatever on it, but didn't see a headbadge. Anyone else want to confirm the frame came head badgeless?

I agree with the logos/headbadge not being there and that is exactly what I wanted, but I thought they were supoose to come with headbadges. I thought I read that somewhere. Maybe Freeskip?

IRO hasn't put badges on their frames for a while now... about 1 1/2 years(?) now.
Their might still be some badged IRO frames out there though.
