I called them this morning regarding my Jamie Roy build. Tony picked up; I gave him my information, he then relayed it to his kids/employees, and then I heard a girl scream out to him "That one's going out today". I checked my email a coupe hours later, and sure enough, a shipping notification from UPS was there. For those who are curious, I ordered my bike 7/14 at night, received the shipping notification today (8/5), and expected delivery is 8/12.

They're a small shop, if they don't get to the phone, they don't get to the phone... Just be patient - it's sounding like peak season for their product right now meaning they're probably running around all crazy trying to keep up with demand.

I'd love a JR or Mark V... but my next build has to be a touring rig... my Rob Roy will have to wait for her sister :D

PS. I really love my Rob Roy, IRO's are worth the wait IMO.

when you guys ordered from IRO, when did they charge your credit card? (Immediately / when it shipped / some time in between?)

I was finally able to get Tony on the phone yesterday and decided to order a Mark V frameset. I had a problem ordering online and was able to get in today on the phone again and get my order in.

I've now got a tracking number scheduled to be delivered Friday.

I'll be the first to admit that it can be a pain to get in touch with them, but I was very suprised that he was completely laid back and not in any hurry to get me off the phone.

I got charged right when I ordered it.

Anyone know what "HELD BY ORIGIN LOCATION" mean? My bike was shipped through UPS and that is what the current status of it is.

Flimflam 08-06-08 02:15 PM

Might be a long shot, but maybe ask UPS that question?

bionnaki 08-06-08 10:19 PM

when ordering a frameset, does Tony cut the steerer tube or does he leave it uncut?

mine finally came in
