Thanks for the help, guys.

I did see the bikes from cl, but I don't really like the style.

Regarding Kilo bikes, I got a email back from them stating that they are not planning to sell more Kilo models as far as they can tell, which is sad..

I think I'm just going to buy the Contender from my friend for $300. I'm hoping to customize it so any link to a proper affordable fixed bike customization will be appreciated.

P.S. how hard is it to build my own bike? One other option is to buy a Kilo TT/WT frame and start from there, but I don't know what I should be expecting..
