My kilo tt stripper came with a cheap plastic chain guard so you can probably use that and see if you like it or not before purchasing another.
Thanks! good to know, prob have to give them a try and see by the sounds of it

You could have a chainguard installed, but in my experience, it's not particularly helpful. Just roll your pantleg up, or get a leg strap thing.
The stock brakes work fine. Short of replacing the front fork, I'm not aware of any way to fashion up a disc brake setup on a bike not meant for discs. I wouldn't bother.
Thanks for the reply
hmm so seems the saddle is something to really look at changing, any recommended brands for saddles?
Ah okay so prob not worth it, heard that discs tend to wear less, less/easier maintenance over time, so thought it would have been a good investment

yeah haha, def doesn't seem like a good idea, thanks!
