Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Asian manufacturing is crap, the USA is the only real country. Get your head out of your buttocks, you traditional fuddy-duddy.

To each his own. Appreciation of beautiful bikes knows no boundaries. Feel free to start a debate thread elsewhere. But for now, let's keep posting pics!!

My friend is 5'9 and has an inseam of 33. You guys around his height are running 50, but the Kilo TT sizing suggests 55. Should he go 53?

Your "fixed" version says the same thing. I still don't get it.

Are you 5'9 with a 33" inseam?

My "new" kilo tt
Just picked it up yesterday as you see it. Rides really nice. I added the Brooks Pro. Came with continental gatorskins, nitto bullhorns, and cane creek scr-3s w/ tektro levers.

Even though it's practically stock, I don't think there's one thing I'd change about it, except the pedals. I really like Black and Silver combo.

For some reason, though, the chain is a little noisy on the rear cog when pedaling, but, not when floating.











PS if someone could point me to a place i can buy top tube cable clips, I would appreciate it!

Hi J3ffr3y, I got the bike second hand and it came with the threaded stem. I think some of the older Kilo's came with a threaded stem. The person I purchased the bike from thought it was a 2008 model.

It's for my friend, and those are his measurements. Apologies for the confusion.
