I'm not quite sure. The bikes like the Kilo look like they were made in the early 1990s.

And it's not that I want to destroy the T1 (if that what I were to get), I don't even take my 1.5 out in the rain. Just from the research I've been doing I've found that fixies are easier to maintain and are also a better bike to get around town with.
I've also looked at the Specialized Langster as well....
