Anyone still building up IROs? It seems like they were quite popular before.

people still buy IRO bikes/frames. this thread was for a special run of IRO's made with a much nicer tubing than the standard Mark V in 3 custom colors.

Then, no I don't apply. When I clean it up and start buying stuff I'll make my own thread. =)

That makes sense. I was wondering why they were in colours that aren't available. Were these frames like to Mark V Pro now or did they have even better tubing?

well the mark V pro is reynolds 631. the groupbuy was made of dedacciai tubing, which we never really knew exactly what it was, only that it was heat treated and roughly of similar quality to the EAI bareknuckle frames. i would say it was probably "better" tubing, but that might just be personal preference?
