Has anyone ordered a Kilo TT Stripper and got gold parts? On the site it says it may or may not come with gold parts, but I haven't seen one yet.

Been lurking the fixed gear forums for a while but I finally got a Kilo TT. Can anyone explain how to hook up the brake? All the videos I find have a different type of brake.

Its pretty straight forward. No offense, but if you can't do it based on the video I linked then you should bring it to a shop for assembly to make sure its safe to ride. Best of luck.

Posting my 3 week old 53cm Kilo. She is replacing my stolen '06 Raleigh Rush hour.
Replaced the pedals and saddle right away with Soma pedals, cages and straps and Sella Italia Turbo saddle.

On BD it says, "Order now to lock in the current sale price and selection. The price may be up to $100 more later this year". Is this some kind of sales scheme to get people to order right away or is there a reason they might increase the price later this year? Just wondering.

Can anyone point me in the direction of the Mercier tire/picture thread? I came across it randomly but can't seem to find it now, looking for suggestions for new tires/size.

Alright guys, I'm looking for some guidance. I picked up a Mercier Kilo TT for cheap, but due to my location, Vermont, it is certainly not practical to be riding around a fixie in this mountainous state. Here's my question, and excuse my lack of bike-knowledge, can I convert this bike to one that has multiple speeds? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
