Pake frames?

thanks for the tips jersey, much appreciated!

well I checked the IRO website and took a closer look at the Angus and Mark V Pro, I like them both a lot but I think I'd prefer the Mark V Pro (same price, same steel, Mark V Pro has a 1 1/8" threadless fork, no bottle mounts (I like it clean haha), and I somehow just like the look better, especially the front part with the straight forks, even though I'm not too keen on the white paintjob...)

thanks again... I will check and see where I can get one, maybe even here in Switzerland, who knows...

the geometries are identical between those two, so the choice is really aesthetics and type of headset you want. I'm partial to the Angus, frankly.

My IRO is the base level Mark V and is 6 or 7 years old, and the quality is excellent. Assuming nothign has changed about where the frames are made, I think that these are excellent choices. The welds are tight and consistent enough that the frame looks wonderful when stripped raw.

IRO also has a 1/2 price crash replacement policy which is nice.

I think this is the most new frame you can get for this price or less.

peace.
