****, $200 to be in the wind?? Damn!!
This would be my first "road" bike so I'm wondering about part interchangeability??
Would probably want to upgrade parts as they wore out/broke.
I would definitely put on some pursuit bars straight outta the box.
Are cranks, wheels, stem & bars all pretty much swappable??
Seems like a pretty clean frame to start with, and being so cheap, I'm all ****it!!
Any experience with weak points on these completes??
Should I drop more coin for something else?
Kinda like the Throne bikes as well.
Flame on, Flamers
I normally wouldn't say this but Hashtag: KiloTT. It is a much better bike than any of those cheapo hi-ten bikes that some factory in China is making a ton of and rebranding. At least they use 4130 Chromo and allegedly it is Reynolds 520 (which is decently good stuff) so a nicer and lighter frame that will hold up better.
You can upgrade parts on almost any bike so long as they are the right parts. Stock bikes are generally boring, save for this guy:
LeMond - The official site of Greg LeMond (we have one in the shop right now and fark it is so dope. The colors are all TDF jersey colors and all kind of hidden around the bike though I guess he did some very minor upgrades and also claims to know ole' Grego personally)
And I guess the limited edition Eddy Merckx XCr tubed 70 also with Crampandgoslo (but with his name on all of the components which Crampy doesn't normally do, to be even more ******)
