Quick Kilo TT Question.

I found a '06 Kilo TT for sale near me for $250. Completely Stock and according to the owner it was an impulse buy and he didn't ride it much. What do you guys think? Good buy?

It would definitely fit, same size i would be buying new.

But being pretty new to the fixed gear scene is this a good price?

who are we to tell you what your money's worth?


a $250 used kilo is likely worth way more to you than the same amount in drugs or computer games or shoes...

then again it may or may not be worth more to you than say a tool set, or a camera, or enough sandwiches to feed you for three months, or a trip to the hospital to fix an illness. it all depends on what you'd do with that money if you didn't get the bike.

or you could give to charity.

if i were you and i didn't have a kilo i'd probably get the kilo. i love mine.
