I would pull the metal decal off if you paint/powdercoat the frame and then re-attach if you like the way it looks. You could also budget paint the frame if you are a DIY person. I really enjoy road conversions and that frame, if it fits well, looks to be of a decent quality. Plus in feb. the kilo tt frameset will be available alone. or if you decide you want a "real" track frame you could look into any number of really nice framesets later and transfer parts.Originally Posted by bja86
so basically you guys are saying that it wouldnt make sense in me getting the kilo when i already have the nishiki which is nearly equal or greater than the kilo since i would want to replace the parts on the kilo anyways. that does make sense i could always get the nishiki powder coated it is pretty scratched up. i was also wondering the metal decal on the front can that be covered if it was powder coated or does it have to be taken off?

Hey man, I wouldn't even touch the paint. Maybe it's just the photos, but it looks to be in good condition and that blue is very vivid and sexy.

^ - Agreed. And it's a road conversion of a cheap Japanese bike-boom frame. It's a good frame for all your riding needs, but it ain't worth the money a powder-coating costs.

If you go DIY paint read up first. I just gave it a shot for the first time, I'm happy with how it came out but I think i will end up re doing it sometime. There are some really good explanations of how to thoroughly paint a bike and have good results.
cant wait to startMember
