Well, seeing as you are the center of IRO's universe, they should probably have to you you the day after you order. I mean, its not like Tony has other customers or that shipping a bike across the country takes more than a few days.

Well i knew i would get a reply like that. what i was wondering is how long it usually takes and i understand he has other customer. I was just wondering how long it took some one else to get their order. Thats all a simple non ******* comment.

When I ordered hubs from IRO last year, it took about a week -- give or take a few days -- to get to me.
You probably could send Tony an e-mail, or maybe call him, to find out. I bet he'd be a better source than a bunch of non-IRO employed yahoos on bikeforums.net.

I ordered a hub last year and received it about 2 weeks after I placed the order.

IRO has 8 babies and a Penguin working there. You're just going to have to be patient.

I ordered mine on 8/3, called them on 8/6, they told me it had been scheduled to be built on the 9th, and at my doorstep on the 16th or 17th...and I'm in Southern Cali. Soo..two weeks give or take.

If you wanted it RIGHT now, you should have ordered it sooner

Wow, a lot of assh@le responses.
The simple answer is about 2 weeks for a complete. I ordered on 7/1, shipped 7/13....and that was during all the group buy stuff. Took 2 days for delivery from there.
And frankly people, if tony would just simply have a FAQ page....he'd get less phone calls during his extremely limited phone hours (when someone answers)...less emails, and less forum threads like this.

It all matter what shipping option you choose. Shipping could take 5 days or 1. 2 weeks to build and 5 days to ship to California is what i was told.
