i have those exact same frame standers.. but when i was trying to tighten my chain tension, one of them lifted up.. i told my guy to step on it to get it back on the chainstay.. well he did so, but didnt realize that it was bending to get back down there.. so i have a normal shape one, and one that is totally bent, like 45 degrees.. **** sucks.. but my bike has lots of green :) soon the paint will be green too...

Deathhare, if that frame was my size I would have snagged it so fast, that is my exact dream bike. Same color, same make.

hey dhare, you creeped out yet?

:)

i'm surprised there isn't a flood of green kilo tt's yet.

also, my desk is filthy.

Can anyone tell me the significance of the color green in Chinese culture? I wore green to a professor's Chinese new year party and his wife nearly had a fit. Thankfully I was plastered and couldn't understand what she said. But I would like to know.

Canti brake mounts.

yep, 3 piece canti bosses. i love the color on that one.

Eww. Why canti bosses?

Special points to the person who posts a pic of this bike.

Because Canti's kick caliper's asses all up one side and down the other. Powerful stopping, simple design, weigh less then caliper brakes. I know a lot of fixed kids get off on the "minimalist" thing, but lemme ask you, what is a simpler mechanism, a dual pivot caliper, or a cantilever brake? If the simpler mechanism ALSO works better, what could be more minimalist?

A cantilever brake may not be appropriate to a racing style bike (I'm not sure why this is) but if what you want is a utilitarian vehicle suitable for hauling heavy loads reliably and inexpensively, canti's (or linear brakes which also use canti bosses) can't be beat. For a while I was a bit starstruck by disc brakes, but really, while they have some advantages in some extreme situations, in most cases (for the street) they are overly complex, and add weight and expense to a bike for no very good reason. Cantis rock, and I love a good frame with Canti bosses.

Eww. Why canti bosses?

because that's a UCI legal singlespeed cross bike.

and here's that other bike

The green bike with canti bosses is probably the most gorgeous frame I have seen in a long time.
