you made that up.

admit it.

regardless, you're wrong. the WT came about three years after the TT and the kilo TT is a WIDELY accepted race name, which the bike was named for. the WT was simply a fun name they came up with after the success of the tt, which stands for time trial.

and i was not meaning to allude to the choice of a 1" headtube being for aero purposes on a kilo tt. it was because 1" was cheap, and they were making them threaded when they designed it.
