The additional cost is for parts that most people are gonna buy anyways as an upgrade from the regular Kilo so the extra $130 for better cranks, wheels and a brake kit sure as hell make it worth it.

The Dawes is on my radar for my next bike and I like it cause its geometry is more relaxed. the decals can be removed too, not like BD to put the decals on top for any of their bikes. It does need hoods instead of the cross brakes and I would go with a Carbon fork but for the price it is definitely a steal. On another thread discussing this bike Mike from BD said he was gonna change this bike to offer hoods and a Carbon fork in the near future so I'm thinking of waiting to see what he adds to it before I pick one up.
