I'm looking to just get a decent bike to learn how to ride fixie on, and trying to spend under $400 initially(aka this month). There's always room to upgrade. Maybe we can hang sometime and you'll let me check your bike out?

I've seen a couple brand spankin new kilo tt's around campus and they look sexy. makes me want to order one. I say get it. especially since its your first fixie.

Well it sounds like you know exactly what you want... bravo! You are more than welcome to come chill/check the ride out. I would recommend measuring yourself to find out which size to look into, since there is a bit of a gap in the sizing of the kilo.

Also, for a shameless plug, I recommend buying parts from bunnyhop bike shop. Luke (who works there) has never steered me wrong, and he has a real way of telling you whats up with a certain part or fix... even if it means he might not make a sale. Bunnyhop comes highly recommended.

Check your PM -- I don't know if this is the appropriate place to discuss this sort of thing.

Saturday afternoon sounds good. As for Luke, I think he is a really nice guy, but can (at times) be quite the bike snob. Now that is not to say he doesn't know what he is talking about, just my .02

Yeah, I know what you mean. But most of the time, he's a really cool guy.
As for the sudden outbreak of Kilos on campus, I'll be contributing to that trend when I return from winter break. :D

catapultkid 11-28-07 11:55 PM

looks like its going to be a VCU thing, first IROs then Kilos

Straws 11-28-07 11:56 PM

I still see IRO's on every corner. Not so much kilos. I've even seen a couple GT's

catapultkid 11-29-07 12:05 AM

yeah 2 years ago it felt like IROs were the only bike to own, i see like ~3 kilos locked up outside of shafer everyday when i ride by, crazy i tell ya, how are you guys going to know whos is whos at this rate

zsno 11-29-07 12:21 AM

Funny thing is...I have yet to see a kilo on campus. I did see an orange motobecane tonight like the one I was thinking about getting...Dunno if I should go for it or the kilo...or the windsor, the windsor has the FSA crank...

catapultkid 11-29-07 12:24 AM

+1... I only know of one, and its covered in stickers. IRO's on the other hand... seem to be quite popular, but nothing plagues the VCU campus more than the dreaded SE Draft.

i've only seen one SE draft, parked outside the VA Book Company and I saw my first Kilo TT on campus the other day locked up by the Library.

ugh, I see those things everywhere and try to forget about them. I remember one was for sale on craigslist a while ago and the person kept lowering the price because no one was buying.

Kilo's are pretty slick.

There was a SE Draft left at my house for an extended period of time. I rode that bad mama jama around one afternoon. Maybe it was the fit (65cm) but that bike isn't even suited for a clown.

thrashin 11-29-07 10:32 AM

yep
