I probably would have gotten a Surly Steamroller, or Pake. Pake is the nicest as far as the graphics go, and you can peal them off. The others graphics being ugly. Soma being the worst. 600? If thats just for frame and fork, get a bareknuckle, if not, brassknuckle

i guess ill throw in my 2cents since i love my iro too. i was going to get a jaime roy at first, because they were out of mark v's in my size, but then they were out of the jaime roy and had the mark v in my size when they went to actually build the bike and i got the mark v in the end. if you like the look of the thicker tubing then youll probably like the mark v. the tubing is a bit thicker and shaped, not perfectly round. i moved up a size from a 59 to a 62, and i like it very much, fits me well since i have a 34" inseam. the mark v is definately a fun street bike, smooth ride and it can take a beating. mines been covered in sand salt water and snow since november more or less and still is very smooth. call iro and askthem questions, they know the bikes best and are awesome with questions. ohh and i cant barspin on mine even with a 23 tire up front like the other guy can, if thats important to ya!
