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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
