just opened my email- my frame is ready and calling for me.

I emailed Tony because I also forgot my username and password for the IRO site. He said we have to register again... he did this for various reasons.

No problemo!

I'm considering getting a headset with it. I don't want that FSA one after reading the reviews. I'll see.

Just got my email for a black frame.

Are those IRO parts good? I'm wondering should I be lazy and have Tony build it or just ship the frame?

Great price, huh?

Well, if you look at the warranty, the parts have 2 years. Very low price and two year warranty seems good.

Check and make sure it wasnt' a mistake on their part.

As cool as Tony is, anyone can make a mistake.

Unless you're inclined to believe it's on your part.

Alright, I initially ordered a green 59cm 1 1/8" threadless, but now I'm thinking I want something more in a black 59cm 1" threaded.

Anyone out there looking to trade?

[edit: Also, how is this working? Are we basically just calling dibs on a frame? I don't recall the email specifying what I ordered. Maybe I should just be an ******* and order a black threaded. I mean, some people are going to back out anyway, right?]

So you guys who ordered multiple frames, how did you get the
code to work to discount the total cost? I can't seem to figure
this out.

I paid for my frames separately. I paid as I received the emails from Tony. I just clicked the link in each email and then followed the directions. I also paid for the first frame prior to even getting an email for the second frame. I don’t know if that made any difference, but I have two receipts, one for each bike in my IRO account. Did I screw myself on shipping? I doubt it because it only cost ~$12 bucks to ship to me each frame. Paying $12 a frame doesn’t seem too unreasonable to me.

you'll receive the $400 discount if you pay for them separately, but then i assume they won't ship at the same time

i talked to tony about the multiple frames situation - he says he'll adjust the shipping price manually and ship them in the same box.

also, did anybody order two of the same color frames? i did, and i only got one email. (?)

as far as i know, it's everything you get in the pictures of a complete angus, or mark v, which means everything but pedals. i do know for sure that the hub is fixed/free 120mm spacing. i wouldn't be surprised if it was also lacking a saddle and grips/tape.

i got two blue frames of different sizes. i got two emails, but tony sent a third to me saying "disregard that second email." i guess maybe he thought it was a dupicate.
