I remember BD saying it would be just under $500. But that was several months ago.

Anyone know how to get in contact with BD to find out when these come out? They haven't responded to my email submissions.

i think it will be a legit attempt to get into the IRO/pista market. A little more money and a little better off the bat. It seems to me for an extra $150 (assuming it's going to be $500 shipped, they did say less though) it'll be worth it.

Factory says they have shipped
But I have not seen the documents yet
I have a production 'sample' on the way DHL
and will put up picture as soon as I can

Prices have gone way up; as I am sure you have seen
However, I am going to do everything I can to keep our SS/FG bikes way below the market prices
including selling the Kilo TT Pro for as low as I can

That sounds great, as long as I get a chance at even getting to buy the regular Kilo before it sells out again. Hope you're getting a lot of those in the "Popular" sizes.

i think i remember the 2009 kilos and kilopros coming with some kind of crappy threadless fork/headset/stem but i can't remember. is that true or do they still come 1" threaded with a quill stem?

On the way right now is pretty vague. You show ship dates of 9/15 for most other bikes but not the Kilo TT. When can we assume it will ship? Can I order one now?

KILO TT should go up on site today
and will be in about Sept 30th and ship by Oct 6th

KILO TT PRO - will go up on site as soon as we get pictures [about a week]
and will be in about Sept 30th and ship by Oct 6th

noy trying to be vague - just with boats, trains, trucks, and customs agents all in the path to our warehouse - takes a little guessing
