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


Here it is on bike to work day this year.

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.
