Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - Does Bikesdirect.com every restock their Kilo TT's..?

I've been waiting months now to buy a black Kilo TT, I originally wanted the stripper version but I don't even care anymore.. But the original with the decals has been sold out for a while too. They should fix their website so it says out of stock when you go to pick the size, so you don't get a slap in the face when you go to checkout on PayPal and it says sold out. Anways, I'm kinda frustrated. Does anyone know when they will eventually be back in, or if they will be?

It might be better to contact them and ask this question. But I'm probably just talking crazy talk. :?

Absurd-talk even, it's like calling a bike shop to see they have a certain part in stock, you just don't do that.

Why do that when you can post your question in an internet forum where it will be read by thousands of people worldwide who don't know the answer?

Every time I email them I get the same short response, we don't know. I was hoping to get a response from someone that has been in the same situation so they can give me a brief estimation on how long I should have to wait...It's already been a few months.

But of course, I have to get responses from the elitist smart asses of the board. Just what I expected.

I think the last time they restock was somewhere near at the end of August and before that it was like February or something near; it is possible that they restock every six months.

So you joined this forum just to ask a question when you already knew the answer that we're all a bunch of elitest smart asses. Priceless!

Whoooooaaaa! Hold on there, Mr. Threeposts. No need to call people names. These guys are not elitists. They are just better than you. So, do what I did while waiting for the Kilo TT to restock. Order the Dawes SST AL.

Whoooaaaa, 29 posts is so much better, and I forgot that the amount of posts you have on bikefourms makes you a better bike rider, rad!

okay mr 29 posts no need to pick on the 3 post guy. The elitists already took care of that.

Guys, the sandwich shop up the road is out of avocados. Any idea when they'll get more?

I'm just a squirrel, calm the **** down.





Elitist squirrel, that is.

I'm on thin ice and really, really want to get banned!

Is it avocado season?

Wait, so you asked the company, they gave you an answer, and now you want to ask people who obviously have no idea about the stock of bikesdirect.com bikes?

lol smh

deadsouls. - listen, man. Think about what you're doing. You came in here asking a question that no one in here could possibly know the answer to, regardless of their past patronage of BD. They restock when they restock, and you'd really need to ask them. If they're giving you the runaround, take your money elsewhere and buy a bike from a company that cares about their customers.

DON'T think you can come in and immediately start calling people names and insulting longtime members because you can't understand that you asked a question that doesn't really have an answer that can be found here.

I don't know isn't a good enough answer, that could mean five days, or five years. Whatever I'll just build my own bike I guess.

whens it gunna be done?

Did you not read my response? BD's customer service sucks 85% of the time.

bikes direct sucks anyways. They have good deals because they are willing to make less money per bike, and can afford it.

They are going to put bike shops out of business causing me to lose my job.

also, I could care less what kind of steel those cheap frames claim when they come with bent forks/dropouts from shipping.

Oh I did, I think we just posted at the same time.

I like guacamole.

I have those cado's for the lo lo hit me up thru da pm

Ok. At any rate, welcome to BFSSFG. Your first thread gives you a pretty good idea of what to expect here. I really wasn't trying to give you a hard time. We joke around a lot here. It's like prison - you just need to learn the ropes.

Oh, and don't sit with gt35butt at lunch or you'll get shanked.

Whoooaaaa, 29 posts is so much better, and I forgot that the amount of posts you have on bikefourms makes you a better bike rider, rad! LOL!!!!

have you checked out the kilo tt pro? i know you probably want the stripper because of no decals, but it seems pretty nice with those sugino cranks.

But of course, I have to get responses from the elitist smart asses of the board. Just what I expected.

just dont show pictures of yourself or talk about trackstands or else they will give you a hard time.

The Pro is actually considerably better for only a little more money. Don't get me wrong, the Kilo is a nice bike but if BD's customer service stays the way it has been, I'd rather ride a Pista. Well, no. Nevermind.

that girl....she...she just ate her eye!

LOL!!!!

Yeah, although the decals don't really bother me anymore. The Kilo TT pro doesn't come in black :(. I guess they have the black kilo TT in stock with decals, not 53cm though, 55. I don't know if i'm tall enough for that, since I heard they run big. I'm 5'9 1/2

If you worried about fitting, measure your inseam.

5' 9" on a 53 is a knee slapper.

WTF?

How...why did you guys get back on topic. I got like 3 more gifs lined up.

Wait...I actually steered the thread back on course???

Do your research before commenting. Kilos are measured c-c and the 53 fits more like a 55.

Sometimes they don't even reply to your responses.... they just do it.... for example when I asked about bikeisland (same company) about a park chainwhip; they didn't reply, instead, the next day put it in stock. :rolleyes:

they do run big, my pista is a 53 with a 53.5 top tubewhich fits me perfect, my kilo is a 50, but it is a 53 center-top with a 52.5 top tube, but i am around 5'8

My inseam is 32in. Would the 55cm be the way to go?

You may be ok if you're not overly concerned with standover height (which you really shouldn't be). The Kilo has a shortish top tube so a 55 may be just right. At 5'10" I find most 58cm bikes to fit me very well when riding.

5' 9" on a 55 is a knee slapper. kilo or not

What the hell are you talking about? Are you capable of actually contributing anything?

Oh crap. Somebody hacked scrod's account.

:roflmao:

I help newbies aviod making mistakes. This guy was about to buy a 53, and without knowing his inseam I can tell you this is too small. Yes, we all know the kilos run big.

So what they hell are you talking about? shortish top tube= 55 "may be the right fit"
