Thanks for all of the info, you have all been very helpful. I really like the look of the Kilo and will grab one next time they are available. It looks like a tight little bike and it is STEEL, sweet! I probably get a 53 cm since the geometry is virtually identical to the pictured 56cm Pinarella, maybe a skosh shorter tt (about a hair) so I suppose the worst I will need is a longer seat post, maybe find a nice carbon post.

The tape you ask about, no, the bike originally had Cinelli leather tape in white, the tape has been replaced several times due to wear. I think the first time was after a hard downer in a crit in Austin circa 86. I have some new tape for it now, white Cinelli cork. Just have not got around to it.

Also, the Kilo Raw, no paint, not my thing, but, it does look radical, very nice!!!!!! I can appreciate it even if I don't want it. Hmmm, I could do my own paint, I have the technology!
