Why do you say that ? With the apparent demise of IRO, it is now a rare vintage. You should repost it in C&V.

I want one of these. Really badly for some reason. Basically, as TT said, because they're dying and I feel like I'll never be alb to get one again :(

Rip iro :(

It isn't useless... it is very tastefull. I think that if I ever come across an IRO for a good price I'll pick one up. There happens to be one of those group buy frames on my local CL... but the price isn't right.

What's with the reports of IRO's demise? Website is still up. Looked like they were taking some time off in the fall, but are they really toast? I hope not!

Love my Iro, commute 10 miles to school everyday with it. Only seen 2 other people with the same bike as me. We're unique =]

<3 my Phoenix. It's a goofy bike.

RIP IRO.

Feel free to hate me for bumping this from the dead, but the Jamie Roy I purchased back in '08 was stolen recently. I just had a second heartbreak discovering that IRO isn't really producing much these days... Tony was beyond helpful back then, especially considering I was a total neophyte, and his product lasted me for years.

RIP IRO.

#neverforget

I still have an IRO Angus, with a Campy crank, tubular Campy rims on Phil hubs, with Honjo hammered fenders and Soma Sparrow bars. It's still my favorite in-town bike. You don't see too many IRO around anymore. It's finally time to pull it down and get it ready for another season. I'll post a pic this weekend.

BFSSFG group buy Rob Roy...still going strong.

^never seen on of those before. Cool.

just picked up a new to me Mark V

BFSSFG group buy IRO Rob Roy. Sat in the garage unbuilt until 2013, became the primary bike for years, before I fell down the vintage rabbithole.

picked up this Mark V a few weeks ago

I’m finally starting my first restoration of an old mark v frame I rescued from a scrap yard a few years back and this thread has been a cool walk through time as well as good inspiration. Sorry for bumping this if not allowed, just wanted to thank anyone left for all the info.
