Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

We're not feeling sorry for you while you're on vacation in the tropics.

I'll probably use zip ties. Maybe just run it under a top tube protector.

Ok here's the deal. I still have yet to receive a email about the group buy.Not a shipping email but the one with the code to finish the order. I called IRO on Tuesday and found out that my order had been misfiled under a different name. I got to talk to Tony and he gave me a "code" over the phone. When I tried the code, it did not work. They then called me back later saying that they had found my order and will send the email to me that day. It never came. Since then, I have not been able to reach them by phone or by email. I've called each day and the phone just rings with no answer. I have my original pre-order email and they have verified that I did place an order...I just want to finish the transaction so I can be among those that will enjoy this new sweet ride. What should I do here?

niiiiice!!

okay, fyi, for all you people trying to call IRO with no results, i just saw on their front page:

Telephone Hours 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM EST



so. make sure you're calling then.

and for the record, i haven't received my shipping notice. i ordered two frames and only paid for one so far. i just completed the order for the second, so let's see if i get my shipping notice soon.

Thank you. I'll try again in a couple of hours. This makes sense since all of my calls have been in the morning.

Just kidding with y'alls. I think the freak-outs and raw excitement from everyone are funny and cool. It's obvious we all like bikes. Maybe too much. Yeah, too much.
