Bikes: Kilo TT

I do believe one of you said Wheelset, any suggestions for those?] Seems like an all around very soild purchase.

A bit unfortunate that the logos are under the clearcoat [supposedly], I would prefer a logoless bike, but I can hack it for $350.

Thank you once again!
Some people may object to this, but I say wheels. You can get a set from iro (classic silver set) for 200, laced to formula hubs). If you're getting a black kilo tt, you should go with the classic silver set, but that's just my opinion, I think black and silver go real real nice together.

or you can get a set of deep v wheels from wheelandsprocket who sell on ebay. 200 dollars for the wheelset + free shipping. Make sure to order a new EAI/Eighth-Inch lockring as well (usually run for about 12 bucks on ebay), because the cheap stock one may ruin your rear hub. Be sure to line your inner rims with rim strip before installing tires and tube.
