The problem is that so many of the stock components on those bikes are pretty junky anyway. I found myself replacing many of the components on my Kilo WT and Moto Messenger, such that they ended costing just as much as a higher end bike like a All-City Big Block, where I would not expect to change a lot of parts. About the only part on the Kilo TT that is worth keeping is the frameset itself.
