Where are you seeing geometry on the new IRO site? I have been looking, but no luck...

You gotta go through the custome bike building thing. When it comes to the frame size part, it will give you the geo.

There's also a PDF with specs of frames and components located in Parts and Specs, in the FAQ section of the Service area of the website. Not very obvious, I sorta stumbled into it. The new website is a nice effort but not really there- it could use some organizational help and some optimizing for speed.

anyone know why the Angus and Mark V have different stand over heights on the same size frame?

You'll notice the inconsistencies between this and the build-a-bike pages. I don't know which is correct - emailing IRO directly should be able to set the record straight for you though. It's probably also a good time for you to start researching bike fit in general and measuring up the bike you already have.

onespeed89 06-30-08 05:32 PM

^the Heidis look sooo small (and yes they are small but wow you can tell from the pics) Good looking though.

Shapelike, i think i'll have to call up Tony and ask him

59cm. Just got it last week, but love it already.

Yeah - that's the first good pic I've seen of HD/Heidi - is there a ton of pedal strike? It almost looks like it could strike standing upright!

She doesn't have a problem with pedal strike but it is SS. IMO the 165's it came with are too much for a bike this small. I might try to get her on some 155 or 160 xd's in the future.

Thats a Mark V right? If so it looks big, i've come to the conclusion that i need 59cm if it's a Mark V. im 5'11'' with a 33'' inseam, what about you?

Also what crankset is on the bike? Doesn't look like stock/IRO.

Hey, if you talk to Tony, tell him to fix all the places on the site that say "700cc" and "650cc". That's just embarrassing.

Ouch that is embarrassing. His number is 570-374-0653 so you have it as well.

ya its a 59cm Mark V. Im 6'1" with a 34.5 inseam. I have a 61cm Litespeed that is a little big for me. Based on this forum, I thought the 59cm might be too small, but it is perfect for me. And ya, that is the stock crank, in silver.

Ha! I just bought an IRO frame and fork and I am very put in over it. =]

onespeed89 07-02-08 06:05 PM

Post some pics up of the build man thats what this thread needs a build

f1x1e 07-02-08 07:22 PM

Yeah, you know what I will post step by step during the build. I do not know how much and how long it will take, I am not rich but it should be over some months. I am selling my car in the coming months and going strictly by bicycle transit. I bought the frame used for $200.00 and it is clean so let's see what I can do with it.

onespeed89 07-02-08 07:30 PM

Pick up some frame saver for it, that would be a wise choice IMO

f1x1e 07-02-08 08:57 PM

What is frame saver?

onespeed89 07-02-08 11:03 PM

goes inside the frame (spray it in) and it prevents rust/corrosion

The photo and the slant of the bike, along with the brake caliper, make that iro's headtube look warped.

cmogi10 07-05-08 03:58 PM

Hah I never saw that before...I can see it now though.
