thank you... I was really stoked on it.
thank you. No, I was only borrowing the Areospoke for a week from a friend since I drove him an hour to go pick it up. that thing was nice but I think I'm gonna save up for the Wood colored Deep V's

Kilo TT Frameset purchased from Bikeisland. White 53cm. Very satisfied with the purchase, feels very tight and compact compared to my old conversion. Weighs in at exactly 21 pounds which is heavier than I expected but it may be due to a faulty scale at my LBS but the damn weinmann dp18s dont help either. Just happy to be done bike part buying for a while. I posted some of these in the general gallery but i have some more:
nice. i got a white also. how much did you end up spending on all parts + frame
also, how far down did you cut the fork tube?
thanks

yeah, nice build up. the silver crankset offsets it in a strange, but good, way.

I appreciate all the compliments but i'd rather not talk about how much i spent total on this bike. I'll just say a lot and I still have a left over fork. But it was still a fun process and I learned a lot and I love my bike

thanks everyone for the kind words.
this thread helped me out a lot on picking this bike and size and I'm stoked its coming a long nicely.
as for a couple questions posted,
the Homer Simpson sticker is from the KidRobot toys they came out for the simpsons. each toy has its sticker and I just cut it around the edges.
also, the giant zombie looking thing in the back of pic 2 was done by my friend and he took the idea from a drawing he saw in a zombie comic book. it does look rad.

Yeah runnning a shadow chain is sort of pointless, unless your bike was too light or something.

my orange kilo came thursday.
i put new bars on it. need new saddle. otherwise its the best thing thats ever happened to me.
i was riding a beater conversion before.ill probably end up putting some fenders and beefy tires on the conversion and hooking up an offroadertownie.

and those kilotts do run a little big, my conversion was a 60 cm frame and the 57cm kilott was only a little smaller,almost the same.

right, RIGHT. i really hate that they include all those spacers. no one should ever run their stem up that hight. it just dnt make no sense...
and the color is just about right, the flash lights up the frame for the most part and the walls are really yellow in the hallway.
