Don't try and match the green. Use white or something.

Charlesbian

fine, ill tell him to get black spokes/hubs/stem/chain/crankset/chainring/saddlepost etc. yeesh, let me lazy with my definitions for once

Charlesbian

i feel like a giant tard, i thought the kilo would be a 1/8 like almost everything else in the world and blindly ordered a 1/8 cog. i wish they listed more specific details on the site. blergh, back to ordering online i guess

Zombie Carl

Every cheap complete is 3/32.

willypilgrim

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.

Windsor Hour comes with track standard 1/8.

Charlesbian

whoops i said 3/32 in my other post, i meant 1/8 is what i bought.

Zombie Carl

Well, whadayaknow, you're right. I'm surprised. My best friend has a Hour, and I thought it came 3/32.

gearkraft

lol, I knew what you meant to begin with... im sure ill end up with an all black scheme anyways so you beat me to it.

Well not really a Kilo, but the frame is the same.

Oh No

dude you said black. racist *******.

humancongereel

is that yours? i've been wondering about some of the c-bus posters rides. i'll keep my eyes peeled now.

804RVA

Is it just the angle the photo was taken or is the stem really long and the bullhorns really short?

lwkwafi

It looks like both. Looks like flop and chops, which would account for the short bars. I think that is a brake lever in there too, which speaks to the odd camera angle.

kidtwisty

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?

Charlesbian

ok, now THAT is murdered out, cept the pedals and sidewalls, but ill take what i can get

mavimao

Hmmm....I smell a new thread!

willypilgrim

Oh No

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...

ghsmith54

Nope. Not a one.

mavimao

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.

tekhna

I certainly don't mind the headache, but it doesn't seem like there'd be a comparable bike built. A frame is 175, decent wheels are another 135 or so, that puts me darn close without handlebar, stem, seat, cogset, crankset, etc... How would you spec it at or about 350?

mavimao

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.

jaylaser

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?
