Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

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.

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.

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

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.

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