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.

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.

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.

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.
