digging for truth - Is IRD a division of/owned by Merry Sales of SSF?

[eddief]

I am trying to get accurate info on the steerer length of the IRD Mosaic 57 carbon fork. It varies all ove the map on the net. And I spoke to Merry Sales and they said the latest version of the fork has 350mm steer tube. But nowhere I can buy it on the net advertises the fork at that length. And noone can confirm the 350 spec...except one guy at Merry Sales.

Does Merry Sales = IRD?

Have no idea on the ownership issue, but it says you can buy 300mm and 400mm versions on the Interloc Racing Design website.

I don't believe they are they are the same entity, as BTI is also a distributor for IRD. Although it doesn't look like they have the fork.

Have you given IRD a call directly?

[DRietz]

Give IRD a call - they're horrible at responding to emails.

Merry Sales is just an IRD distributor.

My IRD Mosaic with a carbon steerer started out with a 35cm steerer.

and I will call. No number anywhere in sight on that website. Even though Merry is listed as a distributor, the zip for IRD is in SSF...and so is Merry Sales. No proof yet, but I do believe Merry owns IRD.

IRD is a brand owned by Merry:
