Ha! Now you have me wondering about that too!
Just a quick search turned up this article from 4 years ago confirming Aegis did create frames for Iron Horse, as well as Basso, Profile, and Peugeot. Interesting read.
Just reinforces my feeling that a "family tree" sort of document should be created to show the relationships and influences among bike companies over the years.

If I can find out anything about Aegis's reason for designing the frame as they did, I'll reply back in this thread.
