That's disappointing for me to read since I just bought the kilo TT pro (should arrive tomorrow) which I bought primarily as a commuter/general use ride. I went with this bike because the components were best for the money and the geometry has the best fit for me compared to the kilo WT, Jury, or Fantom UNO (long top tubes). Now I'm thinking of getting a different frame and swapping the components over.
Thoughts anyone?
