Exactly... You couldn't have ordered a mark v... if you did, go back and add one (56) to your cart. I'll give you 50.00+shipping for it.

Way to keep the spirit of the giveaway pure. You don't think that someone at some point is going to go to process this order and realize that you're breaking the one per customer rule a little bit? It sucks that the ordering system is screwed up, but c'mon.

DUDE, wtf??? You are seriously going to flip these things? Taking advantage of Tony's generosity for your own monitary gain is not cool.

I doubt he will be able to get anything. People have problems getting frames they paid full price for I seriously doubt they will get $1 dollar frames.

Why the **** should Tony care? A dollar is a dollar, regardless of the source.

you guys are dumb to take advantage of tony, guy is trying to make the best of his lack of service lately by blowing out product and you've got people trying to buy 7 frames for a dollar instead of actually purchasing product.

i was lucky enough to make my roomie agree to pay half of the cost of a frame $135 and we ordered two frames...essentialy getting half off, sooo sweet.

My friend just ordered a frame and a wheelset. $260 is a smokin deal for a frame and a wheelset. Right now that's the only way to do it.

Did anyone actually go to the event? I almost went but got busy and lost track of time, bummer for me I guess since I could use a new frame.

Tony should hire a young person who loves bikes and knows a lot about computers (and maybe even business administration) and pay this person a *****ty salary plus lots of free bike stuff. This person could 1) make the website better 2) answer phones and emails 3) save the multiple sales he's probably losing everyday from poor business practices.

That's my armchair business advice from someone who has never run a business and knows almost nothing about IRO.

Well, I actually went to the event on Saturday and it was great. Tony had a bunch of his bikes out for us to take a spin on. Plus there was the fresh pig he had cooked up for us and some other food.

And yes, there was free stuff. I got a wheelset and my girlfriend got a Rob Roy frame and wheelset. The stuff was free for the taking, he was also asking everyone if there was anything else they needed. Seemed like he would have went to the shop and grabbed it for you.

It was really a great time. Got to hang out and BS with some good people.

I can't thank Tony enough for having this event and taking care of everyone. He really is a great guy.

Nice ^. Wish I could've gone even if he wasn't giving out free stuff. I'd love to meet that guy.
