53cm IRO Mark V Pro
July 15th, 2010 by naptrax
This is the third IRO I have built and I am always pleased with the results. These bikes are perfect for urban environments like NYC, which is no surprise since IRO got their start as an New York-based company. This frame is a IRO Mark V Pro in black that I have re-painted, overhauled, and built up with a mix of new and used parts:
- Miche Pr1mato hubs laced to Mavic clinchers
- new Continental road tires 700×19
- Riser bars with Oury grips
- new front brake, Cane Creek cross lever
- new Origin8 track chainring, 48 tooth
- new Origin8 bottom bracket
- 48 x16 gearing, perfect for the streets of NYC
- Shimano 600 tri-color crankset, 175mm
- KKT track pedals
- new KMC track chain
- Size 53cm: seat tube center-center 49cm, top tube ctc 54cm, 30 inch stand-over.

why 700×19 looks like it could fit 28s. Also no foot retention?
No foot retention because I prefer to let the buyer get the size clips that fit them. people’s shoe sizes differ too much.
