I have my tri bike put together at last! I bought a 2003 Kilo from my LBS when they first came out. I love this frameset but most of the components were junk. I bought about half of this stuff from Ebay and about half of it from my LBS. Some of the highlights are:
1.FSA Vision BaseBar, AeroBar, and Stem
2.Look Keo Pedals
3. FSA Carbon Cranks
4. FSA ISIS BB
5. HED 3 Carbon 3 spoke wheels
6. Carbon Concepts Ti skewers
7. Ultegra Bits and Brakes
8. Profile Design Karbon Lite cages.
9. Selle San Marco ASPide Triathlon Gel saddle
10. Giant Aero carbon seatpost
Let me know what you guys think!

hoodlum: I hate you....just kidding. That's a totally awesome looking bike!
Which reminds me of something Donna said while we were at All3Sports yesterday. She saw a totally tricked out carbon bike on the showroom and said "Check out this bike, it's so cool looking, and only $850.00." to which I replied "Honey, the rear wheel is $850.00"

On a serious note, that is one VERY smokin' bike. I really dig the all black and white and carbon color scheme. I am officially jealous of all you budgetless guys.

You did a smart thing.
When you are ready to move on to a faster bike like the QR Lucero...all you need is the frame, just transfer your gruppo.
Your Kilo might just be the most modded one out there.
Have a great season!
