Should I pick up either of these to turn into a fixie? I don't care as much about geometry as durability. I want something that I can ride wherever and it it's gonna last. I was originally going to find the cheapest frame around down with horiz. dropouts but now I am thinking I should spend a little more money and get something I won't want to upgrade in a few months. Are either of these worth anything or should I wait? I thought about getting a steamroller or a new bike but I just love the classic look. Any suggestions? Italy would be nice (props to the family heritage). Thanks. Sorry for the semi worthless post.

i guess i might as well be the first to say. get a kilo

just got my kilo, first fixie cant compare with others but its great, nonetheless..

Mercier Kilo TT right? That gitane is also a "kilo".

Is it just me or does the first bike look to be quite a bit bigger than the second?

I second Enk1du. Pick the one that is your size. The first looks like it is for someone relatively tall.
