I think that a cream color more towards white is what I would like to run. Less gold IMO. Flat Khaki could be cool too but for me if I were to buy one in an off white color I would prefer glossy and use it to build a real classy whip more towards a vintage looking bike. But I think that a color along these lines can sell great to a person wanting a different looking bike. All I can see is a brooks with a tool bag and some leather grips with a coaster set up. I want it!

Where did you see the Jury pictures?

Post 10 of this thread, I think.

So, what size seat post?

Yeah, that would look good and show off the frame nicely. Lots of colors don't look true because of different monitor settings - even if the photograph is originally color accurate.

It may be easiest to specify your color by using standard automotive color codes because you don't have to invent a color and you could easily request painted samples from your nearest body shop at minimal cost? Or at least be able see their sample books in sunlight. If you see a car you like, use the make/model/year to look up the paint code & you may even be able to find online photos of the color to refer to in order to get feedback from potential customers.

For example, I love bugs, how about the Panama Beige (on my 65 bug) which has a little green in it. The Samba has pages devoted to old VW paint codes plus there are links to car photos which show the color in real light on a car.

Couldn't find any eggshell although there are off-whites that may be similar to what you are looking for.

Agreed on the monitor thing, I was about to say that..
Also agreed on more white than gold in your color choice. I would not buy something that is gold, or even goldish. Look towards the off white and cream colors!

is it 26.8 or 27.0? mine should be arriving on monday! :D

argh!!!!! i've been saying this is the best color combo for TWO FUGGING YEARS! please make this happen!!!

Im getting really excited for this jury frame in the cream color.. At least we've got him looking at the color charts now. I just thought of another use the frame could see, Nexus 8speed touring frame anyone? Let alone the city cruiser bike that Im planing to build it for, the thought of using the nexus on a full fendered, and racked frame, that I currently use is a big two for one for me. With another set of bars and brakes this bike would take the place of another and save lots of money, and space, only taking a few short minutes swapping out bars and brakes.

just ordered some Kilo TT in Wheat and in a really nice medium blue
along with more black, green, orange - which are selling like wild

Jury is already in process
but on second order I will get egg shell and khaki

I may even build a complete commuter with this frame

I love this catagory of bike!

more kilo's coming in wheat and medium blue ... nice!
those are the ones not expected for around 3 months right?
will any of these colors be sold as completes and if so when?

Did you ever answer the post about shipping to Canada? Do you do it? Whats the shipping price?

Thx

i love you. no ugly decals this time right? if you insist on decals, let us design them, since we're the one's riding the bikes and looking at them all day. deal?

Just got my Kilo tt frame. Bike looks great. Paint is nice and fork is straight. Great job on the packing. What a deal! Thank you bikeisland/bikesdirect.

THANK YOU

and if you can - please post pictures of your build

have fun

I am about 5'10 with a long torso and a 30" inseam. should i go for the 50? I really would like to figure this out as soon as possible so i can get my order in. Thanks!

That sounds way too small.

no, 53 at least. and it's going to be kind of small.

What size seat post?

Moderators should merge this with the Kilo TT Pics thread. There's really no need for two Kilo TT threads on the mainpage all the time.

I have been following this thread since the beginning, and just want to thank Mike at bikesdirect for all he has done for everyone. I realize he is making money off our sales, but its nice to see someone taking your suggestions and making them a reality.

I myself am waiting for the purple kilo to come around august..

Thanks Mike!!

Yeah, god forbid there be one less space for another thread (re: Bikes with colors, no brakes, aren't used on "the track", or having anything to do with fun) for you to hate on.

I didn't see this posted anywhere, but what about 55cm ones? will those be in stock soon?

Huh?

No, next batch, three months-ish. It's in this thread a couple times.
