*What a downer. At least send me a fixed cog. I just want to throw that freewheel cog at someone and drill holes in the tube with a 1 inch bit.

Does this order belong to anyone here? LOL

WTF? I just got a 50cm shipped to my doorstep today. I guess i'll just keep this and throw some D's on that b*tch.

IRO cranks fit onto a Campy bb? I thought that the IRO cranksets used the same taper as Shimano, not Campy...

Great images on your web page, I really dig the rollerblading shots.

**** if i know, that's what the shop sold me so i assumed it'd be cool since they haven't ****ed any of my stuff up before.

hope i didn't screw anything up, but they seem to be working just fine.

also, it was a cheap bb and they are cheap cranks, so i'm not horribly worried about it. they seem alright with each other.

I've been debating between getting a 53 or a 57 in black and now they're sold out! You snooze you lose I guess. I think I remember hearing that it would be a few months before they got the reup with new sizes. June?

I actually will probably throw one on soon for some training rides, where I don't want to stop, but only for 20+ my kilo is like most my beater/town/grocery/polo/school/beer bike so I don't put that many long rides on other than some alley cats and random rides but those are usually just messing around so I don't bring aqua.

I think i'll end up building one because i would end up replacing most of the parts on a stock kilo (wheels, crank, seat, seat post, stem, bars, etc)

if you have that kind of money, sure. but remember with the stock kilo complete you can upgrade as you please and have something to ride right away. (relatively speaking. . . whenever the next shipment comes in)

Why doesn't BD/Bike Island just get a HUGE shipment of the frames/completes in? I meen they know they will sell, why not just buy hundreds?

Because that would make too much sense. It also could be that the manufacturer ran out and they need to make more.

The might not be the manufacturer's priority customer either. If Bianchi says "I'd like a billion chrome pistas please", it trumps BD's request for two thousand whatever they're called frames in four colors, some with stickers some without.

Why? Are you racing where you need to upgrade? Those parts won't spontaneously combust if you keep up maintenance and inspections.
