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.

For what reason?

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Agreed, one of my favorite bikes on the forum.

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.

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.

I like the fork on the 09.

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

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.

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

i hate the new fork. everything else is straight.

if you check the site it says 700-1000...really nice bike and great fork

everyone needs the kilo tt. it is so game

i know that all too well .
but when you get to be my age you wish you would ahve just kept all those bikes and bought more , once gone they almost never return .

They're both cheap bikes, just have 2.

DOes anyone know where to get the Rush Hour, around or in Philly? Im going down there this weekend hoping to come home with a new bike and really like the rush hour.

What kind of saddle is that?

how are those champion stripes on the top tube done? masking + paint? tape; doubling as tt protector? looks schweet. a+

red and black is soooo evil hot.

don't get a kilo. the rush hour is awesome. the kilo is awesome too but why break something that's already fixed?

red and black is the hottest color combo ever.

Yeah. Don't make that little jump up the scale. Save and get a real bike. The merciers and the windsors are entry-level, trash bikes IMO.

Thanks for the compliment. The top protector is done with simple vinyl tapes of various colors. The saddle is SLR 125 that I had laying around from a previous bike. Sadly, I don't ride it much anymore.
