Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Sorry, one more...

I'm also thinking of getting the Kilo tt. I've read the threads, but there's not much being said about the size 55, which seems closest in measurements to my Soma Double Cross 56.

Anybody have a size 55 Kilo? How tall are you? Inseam? Etc. Bikesdirect.com is low on stock, so I wanna decide soon.


Thanks! (I promise not to ask annoying sizing questions after this one.)

This is bad advice. The difference between a "55 cm" and "53 cm" frame is much more than the seat tube.
