No, the frameset is a deep bright orange. The tt pro complete is more of a orange/yellow, a different paint color.

Thank you.

i can lock up with the frame, rim, and post many other (thinner) places, but that fence was just not happening!

At first I felt like I was reaching a bit for my drops(kilo runs long), but with a few adjustments it worked out fine. Now the bike feels great.

Not much of a pic, but a pic it is. I'm standing on a curb, but it gives you a semi idea.
Click for picture

Sweet pic and color choice. I approve. :D

does anyone know when BD is going to restock on cream Kilo TT Pros?

Hammerchop 11-15-08 01:41 PM

Your caps button broken?
I wanted to get a quick response, which i did, so i came on the forums. Chill out.

And it is wise to email them, thats why i did.

Hey, this is for the kids that bought that black reflective tape:

Ok.. so long story short I want to experiment with it. I'm not sure if this idea will work but I want to try.

How easy is that stuff to cut? Can I cut it easily and precisely with a craft knife?

Hey, are any Kilo riders having a hard time getting a 700 x 26 tire onto the rear? I got an everwear on, but the clearance is really really close.

BoozyMcliverRot 11-15-08 03:30 PM

I had a Specialized All Conditions 700x28 on the rear and it worked fine,only reason I switched is because the fork I put on wont accept a 28,so I went down to 700x20.

It will be 4 months
trying to decide now on adding gold spoke nipples or gold chain ring bolts or gold seat post bolt
maybe change to black spokes

just want a bit of extra tie in to the black trim or the gold chain

chrism32205 11-15-08 04:20 PM

Black spokes for sure on the pro.

Are you ordering any more purple kilo's? What about as a frameset?

Azul the Cat 11-16-08 06:38 AM

New to me Kilo. Picked up the frame (53cm) off CL. Built it up with some parts lying around. Easton risers w/ purple Oury's, Bianchi hubs laced to Mavic CXP-21's, Shimano 105 head set, Shimano RX-100 cranks w/ MKS pedals and clips. First on my list to change is that worn out Fuji saddle. Overall I am pleased with the Kilo TT. I love the comfort of steel vs. aluminum, and the weight penalty is a lot less then what I though it would be.

had mine for more than a month now. was going to wait until i put on my carbon fork to take pics but looks like i won't be getting around to doing that any time soon, so here it is. it looks pretty much like the other thousands of kilo's out there but i've added a ea70 stem, hsinglung bullhorns, titec mountain seatpost (needs to be cut), selle san marco hoskar saddle, tektro front brake, and sram s300 gxp cyclocross cranks (46t).

I fit 30s on mine.... although they may be more like 28s... they are more like 28s. (can't fit a brake with these though)

Nietzsche 11-17-08 01:08 AM

Not a 53.

Nietzsche 11-17-08 01:15 AM

krayzkrn 11-17-08 01:25 AM

I'm 5'10", 32" cycling inseam. Fistful of seatpost on a 53cm frame for reference.

Nietzsche 11-17-08 01:27 AM

Man, that's freaky. Yesterday, i was riding along the Long Beach beach path and decided to take pictures of the bike after the ride. They look just like your photos (even the angles are the same). Green color with tektro front brake (but with risers) and a headlight

btw, you guys think I have too much chain slack? Does it make that much of a difference?
