Yeah there's something about a mostly stock green Kilo that feels almost classic to me (within the whole track-bike-on-the-street thing) because a few years ago everyone seemed to have one.

Saddle is an Origin8 Urban Aero. Bell's bike shop has them (via Amazon or eBay)

Don't get me wrong, your bike is cool, but your dog is adorable.

I wasn't trying to be an ass about all the pretty upgrades everyone does, there are some awesome looking bikes around, that's for sure!

Doesn't it? Chrome forks are the business. Only thing that beats it in my mind is the Leader I805

agreed but do they make one with a 1" steerer? I really like the s803 too.

scrod's fork is on my list. I plan on getting one someday and I might go with threaded and a quill stem.



and thanks, doods

Nice. Did you get a replacement fork from BD? I've got one of those on the lady's Kilo... been looking around the co-op for a cheap chrome 1" threaded one for some class.
