Mercier Kilo TT
 
I'm looking to buy one, but all I find is black. Is the green a older model? It's so nice. Thanks.

**** you only black

Eric Hanus 10-02-07 10:50 PM

naah, it just depends on shipments. they SHOULD both be in stock if he had a full stock. but you know. STOCK.

Did you say that in an old guy- japanese accent? They're all over Velospace in green. I want one so bad. Black is tight too. Stealth--

black is tight but like stated, they are just getting a spotty shipment in right now. wait it out.

My prob with my green one is that there are logos EVERYWHERE and they don't follow the same style. With the black you can tape it off and all is cool. With the green it'll stick out.

green tape


and i'm thinking of painting my bike that chamelion color like the anchor someone posted up. hell yeah. if i did that i'd probably get a sealed headset shorter stem and a nicer seatpost and some 165 rd cranks. then i'd be in business.

i swear this **** never ends it's an addiction.

that paint is crazy expensive, or at least it was a few years ago when a friend's dad (who runs a body shop) painted his golf cart with it. so ****ing badass and ridiculous. not sure it would be worth it on a kilo though if you had to pay full price.

they make little diy spray kits now for like twenty bucks, but i don't know if just one would cover a bike. probably get two or three kits and some heavy ass clearcoat. then again, it's probably still less expensive than powdercoat even if it's not a hundredth as durable. the other option would be some crazy ass powdercoat that leaves a really metallic finish.

Yay for powdercoating TTs!!!!

i'm just going to tape the logos on the top tube and fork. i don't really mind the down tube.

get black, i wasn't sure about getting a black bike at first, but since i knew i was getting an iro i didn't really have a choice. in time you'll grow to love it.
