Hey guys Im still searching for a frame
I found this on ebay: https://cgi.ebay.com/57cm-KHS-Flite-1...QQcmdZViewItem
I was wondering if bidding $250 was too much? Because I know the mercier kilo tt is the same frame as the KHS Flite. But I added it up and it came out to be the same.
For instance:
Kilo tt from Bikeisland - $145
Track fork - $50
Chris King headset - $50
BB - $20
= ~$275
And that's not including shipping. And taking it to the bike shop to get the parts installed.
The KHS on ebay would prob end at the same around $275 huh? But the ebay bike doesn't require me to assemble the parts. So im still pondering.
Anyways I was wondering does anyone know where I can get a track fork for cheap? Like the ones that have low rake (more steep)? I need one below $50 if possible. I think I will just be going with the kilo TT as my new frame.

well, that frame is also used. but if u can use the BB/headset/stem then maybe its a decent deal. and if u like the color/logos. remember if you buy your own frame you still have to go to the LBS and get them to install the headset (most likely) and that will cost you a little too..
