I'm off the fence. Spoke to LBS today about the Surly hub issues and they said that they were not aware of this, but also did not know the hubs were adjustable? So, they offered to keep the wheels, give me $100 credit and I could buy my own wheels, but then that just means about another $100 or so net added to the cost, assuming new wheels with shipping would run about $200. Meanwhile, I rummaged through my stash of bike part and found a cheap Soma 3/32 19T cog and a lockring, and I even have spare 1/8 chain links if I need them. So, basically, the Kilo WT will cost $440 and the Steamroller would end up around $1000. Just can't justify the extra cost for the ability to remove the decals on the Surly, and for sure can now afford some really nice tires and really good seat. So, decision made, the winner is the Kilo WT. Ok, guys, so the most important question of all, what color do I get, pearl white, revolution red or emerald green? I'm thinking white is out cuz the tacky decals stand out the most and I'm not really a green sort of guy, so has anyone seen the red bike, and what do you think of it? Thanks.
