I ordered a blue frame, but ended up painting it:

Here it is almost built up. I'm still deciding if I want drops, risers, or bullhorns.

Thanks freeskihp and Tony for making this happen.

looks great, did you paint it yourself?

what seatpost is that?

paint job looks nice.

what grips are those!

looks awesome!
what paint method did you use?

Thanks for the compliments on the paint job. The frame and fork were powder coated. It was nice because the excess paint on the fork and bottom bracket threads was removed when it was stripped.

The seatpost is a Nitto 65.

Finally.

what size is the IRO stock clamp? 26?

Isn't that a Cinelli Groove stem? I could be wrong.

Yep. A bit of an anchor, but i love the lines.

no not the clamp of the picture above.

the clamp of the iro's STOCK stem. is it a 26?

What sort of bulls are those?

Nashbar, scored on ebay for 15 bucks.

if this is the stock stem

It's 26

got totally stiffed by IRO on this buy. never got my frame and am getting ignored. that's ****ed up!

Wow. That sucks man. I called IRO twice and managed to talk to someone both times. Only downer was that I asked both frames get shipped together to save me a few bucks, and they shipped them separate.

so they still have your $50 deposit? or did Tony refund it?

Same here, almost. Got the wrong frame , a 1 1/8" theadless instead of a 1" threaded. Fork is 1" threaded so that doesn't work. I got an initial response via email two weeks ago to correct it then less and less communication (no email responses) until finally I called twice in the last four days. Still nothing so far. At least I didn't totally get stiffed but I doubt I will buy any more stuff from them.

that right there is ****ing fantastic. i love it.

How do you like the GR9's? I have them sitting here, waiting for the rest of my parts.

wild style: lovely! nice touch with the colored spacers.. :)

Thanks dudes.

hazylines: The gr9's are awesome. They're perfect for me since I'm used to riding platforms on my bmx. I've read some complaints, but I haven't ridden them in the rain yet, so I can't say much about that.

yeah they initially sent me a screwed up link to pay the balance, then a correct one about 3 weeks later. after i paid that, no ship confirmation, no email replies and no callbacks on the phone. i can't file a claim through paypal either since its been over 45 days.

everyone always raves about tony's customer service, but i won't be ordering anything from them ever again.

Hey wild style - just out of curiosity how tall are you? How's the 50cm frame fitting you?

Sweet build btw.
