Kilo TT or this?
Currently riding this thing..
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...e/IMG_1145.jpg Love it but it's too big for me. My options are to find a smaller frame and reuse the components or sell it entirely and get a Kilo TT. What would you do? Pretty much everything on it is decent, including the wheelset which is off a Bianchi Pista. Would a Kilo be much worse? I haven't had much luck finding a frame around here though. |
If the wheelset and other parts are good, why not get a Bikeisland frame and throw them on that? The sky-blue frame is dope...

They only have my size left in orange which is the only color I would never buy.

haha, I just bought an orange kilo tt. Different strokes...
|
I suggest getting the orange and just rattle canning it whatever color you want. That's what I would do. The paint on the bikes aren't great in the first place.
|
Well I guess I could size down to a 50cm which would mean I could get a blue one. I just don't want it to be too small ya know. I'm 5'8", 31" inseam. Hmmm
|
50cm should be good for you. You have to remember that the TT on the Kilo is long too, and at 5'10" with a 31-32 inseam (which means I probably have a longer torso than you), the 53cm fits me perfect.

just ordered the blue in a 50!
|
get a bike that fits.
doesn't matter if it's a tt or not. |
From what I can tell a 50 vs 53cm is a matter of preference, not correct sizing. At 5'8" with a 31" inseam I have most of my height in my legs. If the Kilo has a longer tt I'd size down. Judging by the geometry specs on the Bike Island site, the standover of the 50cm is 772cm and on the 53cm its 800cm. 31 inches = 787 cm. So yeah.
