Quote: Andreas--what kind of grip tape is that?
Itīs this one:

It kinda looks like leather, but the feel is more like rubber. Extremely comfortable!

I know that both Charge and BBB have similar ones that also are cheap.

Here's my Angus 56. I covered up the logos with yellow reflective tape. I don't do too well in the heat and humidity here in Macau, so I've taken to riding after dark. Those who've seen the driving style in SE Asia will understand the necessity of the tape.

The bike is all stock. I flopped and chopped the drops that came with it. Oh... I guess I added the tail light.

Super fun to ride. 46/15. Just enough to be a pain in the a$$ on the hills of Coloane.

Thinking about clipless in the future...


Edit: not sure how to post the picture...

My IRO single speed bike. Black frame/blue rims.





I took some more, but I don't want to clutter up the thread.

Would you recommend an Iro for my first FG? I would need it to replace my Schwinn 7-speed 40lb. cruiser to commute 14 miles (Mon-Fri).

I am currently waiting for the '10 Raleigh line to hit my friends shop to grab a new Rush Hour, but after reading all of the reviews I might just want to spend a little more.. right?

I am 5'7" male, and I measured my stand over at 28.5" but the shortest stand over height is 29". Would I be best suited on a 50 or a 53? (I'd like to get the Mark V Pro)

Does anyone know if the Jamie Roy is still available for purchase? Is it aluminum? And how much does it weigh?

*I just emailed Tony.

Quote: here is a pic of my mark v pro, this is without the front brake and grips. it has a black brooks on it as well. sorry for the crappy foto, its the only one that I have of it at the moment, I put a reverse TT brake lever and black track grips. its heavier than my other bike, but its geared low for cruising and hills. its really fun to ride, and can handle pretty heavy loads easily! those are 32c randos.




hubba hubba. can anyone help me identify this stem and bar? i'm interested in something similar for my Phoenix.

God I wish! I emailed them too, also wondering why they got rid of a bike that is so well liked you cant even find one used... They told me they "might" bring them back and that they stopped making them due to aluminum prices... Last I thought aluminum was cheeper than steel... I watch ebay and craigslist every day for one...

Definitely not. Compare scrap prices. Aluminum requires massive amounts of electricity to produce, and therefore also has some sensitivity to energy prices.

That said, I would consider a Jamie Roy were it still available. The remaining IRO frames (other than the Phoenix) are lacking in the tire clearance department.
