Sorry hassanr, thanks for putting me right, I saw this and presumed they were NYC built:
(for the short sighted amongst us, it says Staten Island, New York on the badge.
Thoughts on the IRO appreciated. :)
ah so, iro used to be based in ny, but in 2005 or 6, they moved to some town just outside of philly (middleton i think), that must be an old headtube. you weren't all wrong, and i was being pedantic, that's why i edited the post.
i think iro's are fantastic, though the older mark v frames were better than the new ones, when they had tear-drop shaped tubing. but yeah really good frames, great company, nice people (tony (owner) has sorted out a lot of my friends after crashes).
