When I was frame shopping I was frequently advised that the Kilo frameset isn't that great if you want to build a bike from the frame up. It's mainly popular because it's a good complete for a low price - the frame isn't anything that remarkable though.

What's your budget, by the way? From the choices so far, I assume you prefer steel.

Consider a Rush? Cycle club sports still has some white ones for $250 (no fork included) if you're budget could work with that. There's a chance you'll get the older rush which AFAIK just has different decals and dropouts. Still, it's lightweight heat treated double butted chromoly steel (Tange Prestige) which is really nice and light tubing for the price.
