smart way to look at it

even building a complete with a new kilo frame my build is still coming out around ~800-850 (hopefully sourcing most parts without tax)

the nice thing about picking up a tt or tt pro is it would be complete from the getgo and ready to ride, but i know i would already be wanting to switch out parts (more so on the tt then the pro)
