1) Cheap 2) Both SS and FG 3) Front + Rear brakes

Hmm, I'll have to check that out, I didn't see it earlier. Looks pretty nice!

Please do, I may be interested in picking this bike up.

I suspect the size discrepancy is due to the Kilo being sized center to center, but i can't be sure w/o seeing Scott's chart.

Which site are you ordering from?

Thanks for the tip on steel. I'm probably going to order from bikes direct or something. Here's Scott's chart: http://www.scott-sports.com/us_en/pr...2/55736/218120
