Of no consequence is the head tube length.

still doesn't have HT length. i

why would you care to know ht length

maybe replacement fork? i dunno, maybe we'll never know

I am just curious. Doesn't a longer head tube mean more comfort? I need the biggest frame they make and than some.

Some of these cheaper fixed frames like Fuji have 170mm h.t. s. My roadie as has a 190 at 58cm.

If someone out there has a 60cm Kilo and a tape measure and knows, I'll buy you a virtual beer!:beer: Thanks

approx. 45858585858585858596968 inches. its very comfortable.

No, you messed up the conversion, that's in centimeters, so it's not that bad.

To the OP, since the Kilo TT has a traditional, non-sloping top tube, it's head tube will be at about the same height above the ground as the seat tube. If you need a bike with a taller head tube for the equivalent-sized frame, you'll need to look for a more "comfort" type bike with a sloping top tube, like the redline 925. The Kilo TT looks like a pretty traditional design. Replacing the stem ought to get you wherever you need to get for comfortable reach and handlebar height.

Edit: have you tried emailing sales@bikesdirect.com or bd4alternative@yahoo.com ?

So nobody owns a 60cm Kilo and a tape measure?:(:(:cry:

apparently not.

How tall are you Broom?

i'll measure mine later today.

so wait... did we ever figure out why HT length matters?

Nope

HT length matters if you are concerned with getting a solid fitting bike. As with the seat tube height it helps determine the stand over height. Also it comes into play with stem length/rise and comfort. Search bike fit on the web and you will get a slew of articles. Basically Peter White, Keith Bontrager, and Serotta give the whats up w/ fit.

If your LBS has access to a Serotta size-cycle, you can mess around with different HT sizes and really get a feel for what works for you and what doesn't. It sounds like over-kill but for someone who spends countless hours on their bike for work and training rides, a good fit with every possible tube length can make or break a bike that is enjoyable to ride.
