Can someone take a picture of their Mark V Pro seat stay bridge?
My frame is supposed to be a MVP (Tony even "confirmed.") but it's drilled for a rear brake, idk.
MVP aren't drilled for a rear brake right?

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

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 =]

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.
RIP IRO.
