Any Guys/Gals have the 47cm Kilo TT?
Good evening everyone! I'm almost certain that I would like to get the Kilo TT in 47cm.
The only thing that's stopping me from getting it is toe overlap. I was doing some browsing through the forum and some people say it's annoying on the 50cm, and i'm thinkni that it'll be worse on the 47cm.
Does the kilo tt have toe overlap? is there anything to remedy this? Does anyone have pictures of it in 47cm?

on my 50cm kilo with mks GR9s w/ size small MKS clips and a 25c front tire I rub the tire, but there is just enough room that it doesnt hang up. I'm not sure if this helps, but the wheelbase of the 47cm kilo is actually longer than the 50cm by half a cm according to this chart:

so with small mks clips and a 23c you probably would have very minimal rubbing, if even that.

hahaha, I think I'm going to stick w/ Tejano's recommendation and get the Messenger if the Dawes SST AL i ordered and paid for yesterday is really "out of stock" (even though it shows UPS did a Pickup Scan")

the 47cm kilo will be as big as a 50cm bike so be careful if you short.
47cm kilo runs a little big.
the toe overlap is pretty minimal, its only 5-6 mm so if you can get some signifcantly shorter pedals this would server your issue.
I've been looking for some pedals that will help but so far i have found nothing other then cleats...

Adriano's is a 47cm I think... 2nd bike
From my experience; all my buddies who have/ had kilo tt's have had toe overlap.... unless you have super short feet.

Okay, look, I will say it again:
Toe overlap is not a big deal unless you like cruising around at 5 MPH.
I have a 50cm, it is a not a big deal.
We just had this same discussion a few days ago.
