I would get a white one. Maybe with a chrome fork. I'm not really sure how that would look though. Also less decals or removable decals.

Sweet, it sounds great. Any idea of the weight for the frame/fork?
White. Make the decals white with a thin black outline. Black wheelset.

I would suggest brighter, perhaps neon colors based on the target market. Magenta with equally bright green, blue, or pink decals would look hot, and probably match the rider's Nike AF1s.
And I'm not being cynical, I think this would work.

Not that i'm not immensely happy with my purchase, but damn I should have held out for one with the better components, not to mention decal-less.
I'm all for white and purple!

With Platinum OX tubing; Sugino RD crank, Alex DBLWALL with Eyelets, Tektro frt brake, investment cast crown 4130 fork, aheadset, etc like Kilo TT
I of course, want a price as pleasing as people find the KILO TT to be
and much below equal bikes
And what bike compares to this that I might not know of already?

Does everyone know how quick chrome rusts?
Or is that just a Florida thing?
Out here chrome is rusted in a few months no matter what you do
I would think if you ride on streets that get salted it could be the same as riding out here by the sea

I would say that, if you could assemble the compete bike as you described it for $500 or less, you'd sell more of those than you do regular Kilo TTs. I know that here, we would probably recommend would-be buyers to "spend a little more for better tubing, components, etc," and I think that we've directed quite a bit of Kilo TT sales already. If you have a frame for less than $300, I'd almost certainly buy one.
People seem to regard the wheels as the weakest part of the current Kilo TT, so I think a full upgrade to a Formula/Alex or Formula/Mavic combination would be golden.
If you can do metallic paint, then you should.
