False to the max... A crappy conversion is always going to be crappy. A nice conversion will undoubtably be fair. A Kilo TT starts above fair and can easily get into the above fair category. The Kilo TT pro starts well above fair and thats just with better components and a brake. Conversion haters will always hate. Conversion lovers will always stand proud. Track bike elite will always be right no matter what anyone else thinks anyway so it doesnt matter...

A Kilo TT does not qualify as tarck unless a decent measure of tarck has been added. It's a classic design single speed bike that comes with a fixed driveline, has less than track geometry but more than road geometry, well used track fork ends, track-esque bb height, 120/100 track hub spacing, an attractive lugged fork and an affordable entry level pricing. That, compared to the majority of conversions, places it significantly higher up the nice scale than most give it credit for.
