Yeah it's a 53cm, threadless. I'm worried it might be a little small, but we'll see. I feel like I should compare it to my regular ride but I'm lazy and stuff.

I just did a comparison between my 53cm road bike and my 53cm IRO. Seat tube is the same length, top tube is the same length, head tube is about 3cm shorter. No integrated headset on the IRO though, so that should account for some of it. I might have to get a bit more flexible, but the top tube on the 56 is too long to use without making the handling twitchy.
Edit: UPS guy just dropped it on my front porch after ringing the bell 3 times and walking away before I managed to run down 3 flights of stairs.. but he's a ******bag and does that all the time. Even on signature required packages.

$2 per frame??
"Shipping a heavier package costs more, shipping two frames safely requires significantly more packing (costing more), and it's a lot more work (time=money) for a great guy who's hooked us up and is making all of $2 per frame off of this."
Where did this $2/frame rumor come from? Sounds ridiculous.

on. Someone else said his profit was more like $40 per frame,
which sounds right. If that's the case, and Tony sold all 551
frames he ordered, then he's netted $22,040 in profit... and
everyone wins!

Also, that's probably just accounting for the frame only purchases, not the build kit and complete bike purchases. I just hope whatever he nets off of this deal is worth the badgering and hassle it's been for Tony/IRO. Thank you a thousand times and I look forward to coming home to my black 59cm.

Sorry if the $2 profit was wrong, but I'm not hunting through the old thread to figure out if it was ever determined how much he was making per frame. Either way, we're getting a frameset at half market value.

I got mine last night. Green, just like the one in the previous pic, so I won't post another pic of the same thing. I must say, it looks spectacular. I've never had a powdercoat frame, it's glorious.
Now onto the trade thread... my frame's probably too small. Meh
