I ordered a road bike from Ira Ryan in what it turns out was the final batch before he left to form Breadwinner with Tony. I believe mine (the dark one) is the last lugged bike he built. Hand-cut stainless lugs. I love this bike, and how versatile it is, and pretty. Now over 30,000 miles and typically I now add about 1800 to that per year (I have a lighter, faster road bike for chasing the faster people).
While I was waiting for it, one of his first came up for sale, and Ira confirmed that it was my size. So I grabbed it and had it repainted in the inverse of the dark one. That one (silver) has Cinelli lugs.
