Hi All,
I'm moving to Vienna, Austria in two weeks, and I'm looking to pick up a bike for getting around the neighborhood and possibly commuting to work.
I owned a Kilo TT a couple of years ago. I had it for about a month, and then I moved on top of a huge hill which pretty much ended my cycling. I sold the bike and have been bikeless since.
I rode the Kilo as a freewheel, and the only thing I remember not loving about it was how leaned over I had to be to ride the bike.
Is there a way to make the Kilo feel a little more upright? If not, what bikes do you guys recommend in that price that would be more upright?
I am buying my wife's 'Mercier Elle City' from bikesdirect.com, so if you have any recommendations from there that would be awesome.
Thanks,
Eric
