There's also a PDF with specs of frames and components located in Parts and Specs, in the FAQ section of the Service area of the website. Not very obvious, I sorta stumbled into it. The new website is a nice effort but not really there- it could use some organizational help and some optimizing for speed.

You'll notice the inconsistencies between this and the build-a-bike pages. I don't know which is correct - emailing IRO directly should be able to set the record straight for you though. It's probably also a good time for you to start researching bike fit in general and measuring up the bike you already have.

Yeah - that's the first good pic I've seen of HD/Heidi - is there a ton of pedal strike? It almost looks like it could strike standing upright!

She doesn't have a problem with pedal strike but it is SS. IMO the 165's it came with are too much for a bike this small. I might try to get her on some 155 or 160 xd's in the future.

Thats a Mark V right? If so it looks big, i've come to the conclusion that i need 59cm if it's a Mark V. im 5'11'' with a 33'' inseam, what about you?
Also what crankset is on the bike? Doesn't look like stock/IRO.

ya its a 59cm Mark V. Im 6'1" with a 34.5 inseam. I have a 61cm Litespeed that is a little big for me. Based on this forum, I thought the 59cm might be too small, but it is perfect for me. And ya, that is the stock crank, in silver.

Yeah, you know what I will post step by step during the build. I do not know how much and how long it will take, I am not rich but it should be over some months. I am selling my car in the coming months and going strictly by bicycle transit. I bought the frame used for $200.00 and it is clean so let's see what I can do with it.
