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??

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.

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

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.

if the fork alone would be avaible that would be cool. the thing i dont like about the kilo are the rake mounts on the rearstays
