Iron Horse Bikes are here!

On a whim, I decided to check out the Iron Horse website to see if they already had a Philippine distributor. And true enough, I find

Distributor: Cycle Options Trading
Email: sam_estimo@yahoo.com
Street: Unit-8 Fox Square Bldg., 53 Connecticut Street
City: Metro Manila, Philippines
Tel.: (+63)-2-744-0996


I promptly shot "Sam" an e-mail, and got a response today:

Sir,
We regret to inform you but as of now, we are out of stocks (sic) of all 2007 IRON HORSE BIKES. We will be having our 2008 models ready by December this year. I will just email you as soon as our 2008 models are available.
Would you be interested in other 5 inch frame trail bikes?
Thank you for your interest in IRON HORSE BICYCLES.
Best regards,
Sam

It seems the 2007 production run isn't able to keep up with the demand even in North America itself, as evidenced by some posts in the IH forum at MTBR.com. So I really shouldn't be surprised if none of the '07s ever get to our shores (...sniff...).
