Hello all,

Found this on CRC, but can't find much else about these bikes online.

Wikipedia says they filed for bankrupcy in 2009, which probably explains why their website doesn't work anymore.

I'm half interested in this bike, but would like to know more on the specs. Has anyone got one of these? Are they any use?

I'm thinking the 48cm would fit me best? I'm 5'7"

Any insider info appreciated.

I think I remember reading someplace that Iron Horse are now owned by the same company that makes Jeep bikes?

I ordered one today! Im 5'9" and went with the 48cm. I can post feedback once I get it. Im normally a MTB XC rider and ride competitive on amateur level that want's something low maintenance that i can commute to work with when it's nice weather.

What are you looking to use it for?

Hi tomaseriksson; yeah I'd be using it to get around town too.

Do let us know what it is like when it arrives.

Hope you enjoy it.

Oh no, I am tempted but I think the size might be too small for me. Would the 53cm work if I am 6'1?

Unlikely - if you wear 34" leg trousers you're probably too tall

32/33 leg, I'm a bit odd shaped, my head is abnormally large, I pry have the body of someone who is 5'11

Got it today! It came set for fixed gear. Only took it for a quick spinn, so far I love it. As stated above Im 5,9" and I wen't with the 48cm. The size is perfect, you could easily be a little taller and still have this size. I say go for it if you're looking for a bargain single speed/fixed gear. My only complains is a little scratch on the frame and that the wire tubes are to long

Here is a pic of it. It is more orange then on chainreactions picture.

Thanks for the update - looks like a nice bike.

I was torn between two bikes and ended up going for this - it is yet to arrive though.

Enjoy your horse.
