am i crazy.
 
would it be crazy to sell my rush hour and buy a kilo tt. the way i see it, parts wise they're about the same.

fluidworks 08-28-08 09:27 PM

For what reason?

Adam G. 08-28-08 09:31 PM

What the heck is the fascination with the kilo tt? Its not about the bike its about the rider. Personally yes I think you would be crazy, especially if you just bought the rushhour, its a great bike, enjoy. Don't get all caught up in the hype.

kilo TTs look good but i cant see changing to one from a rush hour.
the level of upgrade is negligible, if any.
then again, if you have the money...do what makes you happy.
theyre just bicycles.

daybreak 08-28-08 10:04 PM

thank you.
do what makes you happy, you don't need BF's validation.

justintime8425 08-28-08 10:05 PM

i think it's an impulse thing. I can't keep the same bike for too long.

fluidworks 08-28-08 10:07 PM

Rather than lose money by selling the Raleigh, why not use that money to upgrade it?

I'd keep it, the Rush Hour is a rad bike.

nayr497 08-28-08 10:10 PM

just work it, work it well...

Keep your Rush Hour. Save money and buy the Kilo TT later. One can never have too many bikes. :)

**** that rush hour is nice.

fluidworks 08-28-08 10:23 PM

Agreed, one of my favorite bikes on the forum.

fluidworks 08-28-08 10:25 PM

Speaking of which, just went on the Raleigh site, here's the 2009 if anyone hasn't seen it.

looks like they tried to hard to jump on the all black schemes and failed at coping MASI with the red anodized highlights.

The 09 rush hour needs some color, or more silver.

akunin 08-29-08 12:27 AM

Hmm, I just thought the opposite... I like that there's almost no silver on the new Rush Hour. Brake levers and chain should be red, too.

skinnyland 08-29-08 06:55 AM

I like the fork on the 09.

I prefer the Masi, but daaaaaaaamn...Raleigh made a step in the right direction.

bdfresh 08-29-08 07:28 AM

anyone know the price for toe '09 Rush Hour? I really like the looks of it. They did do a good job at aiming it in the right direction.

sneaky viking 08-29-08 09:29 AM

Where does Raleigh put their cable stops/ housing? Cuz they'd have Masi beat if they ran it internal.

xiamsammyx 08-29-08 09:32 AM

i hate the new fork. everything else is straight.

J A Holman 08-29-08 11:29 AM

They're both cheap bikes, just have 2.

itschrisb 08-29-08 12:11 PM
