I take mine to Bike World on Flamingo.. they're really nice. When I changed out my cog and lockring, they only charged me 2 bucks to install them. They seem fair on their pricing, so I'd give them a call.

There's also NuVision.. but I haven't honestly been there.

I have a 63

fuggers

I'm 6'3" and I have the 60 cm Kilo frame, you guys seem to be sizing pretty small. I could've fit on the 57-58, but the 60 is very comfortable.

the black reflective tape does seem to reflect at night.

JayNev

same boat as you. i'm 6'3" and clear the 60cm maybe be a half inch when standing. i have a long torso though.

brocksanders

zip, where did you buy that black reflective tape? you can barely see it in the daylight photos.

benjamin831

leather and metal

its some 3M scotchlite stuff i found on ebay for pretty cheap. it's very thin (better than electrical tape), and yes, its pretty hidden in normal light.

Critical Jeff

Can I take it out for a night on the town? Lets have martinis and talk about culture at the local steakhouse. Then love it tenderly at my pad?

Eric Hanus

im 6'4" and riding a 60cm maybe smaller... i bought it second hand so im not for sure on the size.

fuggers

I'm digging it.

I used the same 3m stuff, I'm not sure if it looks better on the top tube or not. I would like to cover up the fork logo too but not with white.
Bike has a black Thomson elite stem and seatpost now, just need a black seat collar and spacers. Then I'll finally cut the steerer tube.

Man.. this is definitely the neatest bike I've ever seen. Nice job!!

seriously, what is with the white tape jobs? i get benjamin831's downtube but the seattube doesn't really match...

and not to be insulting fuggers, i mean it's just my opinion, but your bike looks terrible. it makes it look cheap (yes, i'm aware....) and like you're ashamed of it. seriously, why not opt for the bikeisland frame or save your sticker money and get it painted/pc'd whatever color you want. or at least continue the little two stripe pattern elsewhere for consistency! it looks like you have a paper toptupe protector...or two or three.

JayNev

is that brooks leather tape on the bullhorns? damn.. i like the tape on the downtube though! pretty nice, seattube tape should be higher though.

Not stock anymore, made a few changes.

brocksanders

what's the ballpark figure for getting a neat, yet affordable powder coating job on a frame? (handing in the bare frame)

Junbao

bout 100-150 frame and fork

betaZenji

Here in AZ most places are quoting me $50 for a powdercoat.

ZiP0082

I just spraypainted my silver spacers black... but i suppose black spacers are easily purchased anywhere.

I've been having a hard time finding a black 30.0 seatpost collar.

dude, you're a genius! have you ever stripped anything? probably not, but good luck and take pictures for sure!

to anyone who is remotely aware, they'll strip the frame for you, sandblast and treat it to make sure its prepped specifically for the process. this is included in the price...if it's not, take your business elsewhere...

betaZenji

I've called about 6 different shops, and all quoted me the same price and that includes them lightly media blasting (hope I wrote that right) and said to just take the frame apart, they will do all the prep.

really nice!

VeganRider

^^^thank you! :-)

torricantdance

I second that. I love that color.

Junbao

what size is that?
