Wanted: IRO mark v

before i go to Cavendish to try my luck there, i may as well try here!
anyone got one they want to sell, or can be persuaded to sell?
in a 56cm if possible?

i think the BLB frame is identical, minus the graphics.
they allways have loads in stock.

+1 (also no bottle holes)

More stealth posting from Dale. No polo, no talk - is that it?

oh really!
cheers spagettihoops!

it's £50 cheaper too i think. £199. good value for money.
i built one up for a mate a few weeks back, seemed fairly good quality:

looks nice, i am getting the message from other posts that blb may be powder coating them and selling them as there own? or is the just bull?

no idea.

bar spin clearance anyone? on the mark v or the "blb" frame?

with handsome dog fork

thoese handsome dog forks weigh a tone! i am pretty sure there is a picture in the fixed 3 mag, of a dude doing a bar spin one a iro, would it be a different frame or 650 wheel?

no idea.

pretty minimal - I've got the 53 and its tight as hell.. I get crazy "Toverlap" too.

.. doesn't bother me though, as I don't go in for bar spins and all that.

Iro frames = fucking great though.. really well built and lovely to ride... also good customer service. Definitely get one over a blb frame*

*totally biased opinion - never ridden blb frame..

did you get you frame from Cavendish at all?
any pictures?

yeah I got cavendish to build mine for me - they're great... you know, like a real bike shop - they actually listen to what you say rather than tell you what you need and how much you don't know.

I'll put up some flicks later this afternoon if I get time - mine is matte black, but I think they only do gloss now (better anyway - the matte is a shitter to keep clean, as my photos will show!) :)

sorry for crappy images.. left my slr at home and i've only got dodgy phone camera at the office.

top stuff!
when you mean minimal bar spin clearance, do you mean only on some tires and stuff?

BLB frame barspin 700c with 700x32 easy

yeah - you'll probably be alright as long as you're not rocking cyclo x tyres. Tbh - I've never even tried to barspin my iro though.

they are different forks are they not?
i swear the blb frame set comes with little pointy forks?

They are rigid MTB forks... hence the ease of barspinability :)

haha i know now, cheers
