IRO CYCLE right now, so keep checking back to see what's
new! For those of you that enjoyed Project Bianchi, coming soon, Project Giant! Pictures will be up soon.

Took my first fixed ride nown a set of stairs today.
On my morning comute , I was avoiding a traffic snarl, so I took this right turn.
It lead me down a path with a flight of stairs. Not wanting to turn back and having done stairs on a single speed before I deceided to go for it. Wow !
That was great ! I had a blast ! I had never done stairs on a fixed before.
I guess you had to be there.

So what is new for the coming year?
Let us see the Mark V will stay the same. There will be a PRO version of the Mark V, heat-treated butted tubing, 27.2 seat post, no braze-ons anywhere and no rear brake mount. The Jamie Roy will now be available in white and silver. The Mia is in production 26” disc only in three colors black, silver and red. There is a new frame in the works, a cyclocross single speed frame called the Rob Roy. As soon as I have the prototype finished, I will start giving you some more info.

You might notice a slight price increase on the complete bikes and the base wheelsets. I'll tell you why. I am always looking for the weak point in the product line. After a few hendred bike sales I noticed the weak point was the wheelset. Really it was the Suzue rear hub, it could not take the abuse fixed gear riding demands from a hub. I was able to make a deal with Velocity and they are now our wheelset suppliers. All our wheelsets base model and deluxe model are built in there factory. All the wheelset are hand built and have to live up to the standard Velocity sets for their products. The base wheelset is built around the IRO Track hub using Velocity Aero or Aerohead rims. The Deluxe
Wheelset uses IRO Track Hubs with Velocity Fusion or Deep V rims.

Fine tuned the headbadge artwork for the next run of headbadges.
We changed the rims on our deluxe fixed gear wheels from
Fusion to Deep V for just a few dollars more on our end we
are building Bomb Proof Wheelsets.
