haha, you don't need to tell him to buy anything to "murder out" his ride. All I'm saying is there is nothing murdered out about that bike.

yeah, uhm, i'm confused as to how that brake lever works..
is it off to the side?
or are you constantly resting your hand on it, meaning you replace your pads every other hour?

About to order a 60cm TT in green for my around the town bike-Anyone think of a reason not to? Unless of course there's a compelling reason to build up a frame when they come out in February...

Do you want a bike all set up and ready to go out of the box with so so parts that some will need replacing eventually, or a decal-less frame with more colors (white and orange) that you can build up with better specs at around the same price or a little more, but deal with the headache of getting all the parts for it and putting it together?
There's no easy answer.

Hmmm, I guess you're right. I haven't really thought about that really. You could use a headset, stem, crankset from an older set-up.

OK ive got a few questions about upgrading the headset on the Kilo, which Im getting ready to do since mine came with a dent in the crown. Im wondering if the Stronglight A9 english headset will fit or which one of the tange-seiki will fit either the 26.4 or the 27.
The stronglight Link from bens cycle..

Which if any other headset would you recommend?
