new pedals! soma double gates feel so good on my feet!
new f/r lights
thinking about switching back to nitto drops... or i should just cut the stem shorter.
question:
if i cut the steerer tube down so that i can have 1 thicker stock spacer and then later on when i want to get a thomson elite stem, will i have to re-cut? what is the height of the stock kilo stem? thomson stem?

update!
i am almost finished stripping the paint from my orange kilo. i still dont know if i want to paint it a different color or just clearcoat over the raw steel. it looks so badass.
i got some new pc bmx pedals and some homemade foot retention. brand new lime green dp18s. new stem and new seat. and a cute spokecard.

Man I really want a TT for the winter, but alas no international shipping. Would not be a problem to send it to my parents address, but shipping it here would be another 250 bones.
Anyone flying to Germany end of Sept/Oct?

Is that the Brooks leather bar tape? Looks good with the cream color.
I'm digging the ecstatic peace sticker.

yeah its the saddle from traitor. i think it's pretty comfy. certainly an upgrade on the stock saddle. it isn't a brooks, but it won't break the bank.

Is the frame/fork holding up good for tricks? I plan to get a Kilo Stripper. Would you guys recommend it as an all around good fixed gear bike. I plan to do some tricks. Thanks!

The kilo has pretty tight clearances. Not ideal for tricks if that's mainly your thing. The toe overlap on my 50cm is a ***** sometimes when I'm dorking around at low speeds. Keep in mind I'm not good at tricks and constantly learning ha.

What size should I get? I'm 5'7" with a 31in inseam.
How light is the frame? Probably lighter than a cheaper 80's schwinn i hope!
