New KILO TT finish - would love input
 
Have been working on Chrome and Chrome w/ Paint
I just got in this sample, which I really like.
I want to do this as frameset and as complete bike.

On complete bike, I might do a few different parts, if anyone has ideas on that; I would love to hear that

On colors: I would love ideas
I really like the Tangerine with Chrome
Plus I will for sure do full Chrome
But how about other combos?
Black/Chrome; RED/Chrome; Purple/Chrome; etc??

Don't really care. Why don't these frames come in 59, 58?

mikewoodkozar 08-10-09 02:56 PM

When is it going to be available as just a frameset and how much?

oneangrytoast 08-10-09 02:59 PM

ohhhhhhh so nice.

just make sure that on the completes you dont have chrome mixed with polished silver, i dont think it would look nice.

as far as colors to go with the chrome, i cant imagine that you could go wrong with any color you want, but try to mix it up a bit. seems like all the newer colors are going for bright/candy/bling. some guy painted his kilo a maroon type color that looked amazing. classy as hell.

i'm really liking that look. i kinda wish i held off on buying my kilo for these new colors. red/chrome and black/chrome would look dank too. is the all chrome going to be decal less too?

god damnit that looks great. You've got to do your metallic blue w/ chrome. that would look balls.

Kilo TT and Kilo TT Pro are the only two frames / bikes that we measure C-C
Sizes are 47c, 50c, 53c, 55c, 57c, 60c, and 63c

Are you saying 57c is too small and 60c too large - that a jump of 3cm from 57 to 60 is too great?

I guess would could change sizes to 57c, 59c, 62c [c-c]
that might be better

But to answer your question, reason for current spacing of sizes is just trying to have sizes for most people without building too close together

I just got sample
and wanted to run by forums for color input
then I will order this week later
and they should be in around 120 days from now [say Dec 10th]

I am trying to keep frameset price under $250
and would prefer $225 delivered

I agree
Glitter Blue with Chrome would be very nice and that will be on the list

sexy

Looks really good. But I hate orange, can't wait to see the other colors/chrome.

wr1020 08-10-09 03:44 PM

Not into that at all, then again i really hate chrome on bikes.

Retem 08-10-09 03:59 PM

A nice gulf blue would look awesome

well its good to have a steel frame chromed before paint it makes it more durable in the long run especially when the paint starts to wear off thru beusage

Cy Trivialities 08-10-09 04:12 PM

looks awesome with the champion stripes too. i think i'd buy another kilo frame.

don't really care for the chrome on the lower half of the fork though. I think the chrome fork crown is enough.

I have to disagree. This finish is an awesome throwback, and those chromed fork tips complete the picture.

especially nice when you encounter gravel and other crap on you daily ride

And when locked up where other folks bang into the fork.

Great job Mike, it looks fresh and clean. British racing green with that chrome would be nice...

cyclefreaksix 08-10-09 04:38 PM

Sweet Jebus that looks fantastic!

Second vote for a British racing green.

Think this.

Looks awesome. Will you be doing trade ins for older kilo's?

:)
