Well I guess I mean more so like... I don't know much in terms of what I'm looking for, if that makes seense. Like in a bmx frame you want specific materials, different geometry in the build, types of welds, specific drop outs are better than other styles, etc. Or in terms of weight, in bmx you normally want the lightest parts you can find, but I don't know if it matters all that much for a road bike/single speed/fixed gear. Or in forks what kind of angles you want and things like that, where as in these bikes I have no idea what frame materials are better, I don't know if I should be more interested in tighter angles or a longer top tube, etc etc. I knew what kind of things to look for in bmx frames parts, but don't know what to look for in the same kinds of parts for these styles of bikes.

But, I guess in time I'll learn whats good and of course what I prefer compared to what people recommend or what's considered best.

Back to the original topic, can anyone give me like a "pros and cons" of the Dawes SST-AL vs the Mercier Kilo TT Pro? I really like the looks of the Dawes, but everyone else seems to point to the Kilo.
