i love this attitude. if they are the same, please site some examples.
Geo for the 57cm for the Kilo TT and the KHS flite 100 below:
from the mercier web site: https://www.cyclesmercier.com/geometry_tt.html
head tube angle-73.5 seat tube angle-74 bb height- 282mm chain stay length-403mm
From the KHS web site https://www.khsbicycles.com/Images/Ge...geo-road-a.jpg
head tube angle-75 seat tube angle-74 bb height-275mm chain stay length- 401mm
KHS has a steeper head tube angle, a lower BB, shorter chain stay and the front fork rake is different as well.

hate to do this to you, but you're quoting a post that's a year and a half old.

Well I just bought a 2009 Flite 100 frameset, new in box, for 180 shipped! This will be my second fixie, first custom build. I ride mostly in the city and medium distances. Flat terrain and some cobble streets. Looking for recommendations on parts. Def wanna put the bulk of money into the drivetrain. Super stoked! Suggestions?

Mine is getting turned into a single speed. I was suppossed to get my frame delivered today, but of course it didn't show. He shipped via USPS, so all bets are off. Getting a frame from the US Mail truck is a new one for me.
I will post some pics.

Just got my "Amazon Green" frameset in the mail.
WOW! The paint is flawless, the frame is very well made. I am actually shocked at the quality, I expected much, much less from a $180.00 frame.

Wow, this thread has been necro'd far too many times...
To (try to) respond to your question, there isn't an easy answer. There is a fair amount of variation in the actual inflated widths of tires that are labelled as 32mm due to manufacturing variation, alleged questionable marketing tactics on the part of the manufacturers, and the effect of wheel width on inflated tire width.
Assuming you don't already have the 32mm tire on hand to test-fit yourself, the easiest thing to do is to:
1: Figure out which tire you want to run on your bike (ideally a common/popular one) and search the forums for threads about the normal inflated width of that tire.
2: Use a ruler or other measuring device to measure the gap between the chainstays and the gap between the seatstays about where the widest part of the tire would be when it's installed.
If the both numbers from step 2 are larger than the number from step 1 by at least 5mm or so, you're all set and you'll be able to ride off gleefully into the sunset, enjoying the new-found comfort of 32mm tires.
