Alternatives to Kilo TT???
 
So I've heard great things about the Mercier Kilo TT, but fixies are becoming more and more popular, and i was just wondering if there were any other companies out there that are offering a complete track bike (such as the Kilo TT) and with a similar price.

I love the Kilo, and i will probably end up buying one...but i dont want to get one, then see a competitors bike online and like it more.

winsor, pake, iro. but really the kilo has no real competition for the price

I think the new cinelli supercorsa pistas are pretty cheap

if you don't mind paying a little extra, the kilo uu is about $400. the geometry's a bit steeper, and it's made of reynolds 631 instead of 4130 chromoly. also, it's fully lugged, as opposed to just the fork.

SE has some really cheap ones. the lager and the draft. one of them is a budget bike. one of them is even cheaper, made of high-tensile steel, with one-piece cranks... worth avoiding if you're looking for something worthwhile.

The Draft isn't fixed, it's just a single speed. My friend has one and its seemed to hold up just fine and he's had it for a year. He hates the wheelset, though, which is understandable considering the price.

Gotta love that sextuple butted-sarcastium alloy. Vertically stiff yet laterally compliant.

OP, there are no other alternatives. it's either kilo tt, or BFSSFG slits your throat.
