- - Kilo TT Lugged - do it Mike (https://www.bikeforums.net/singlespeed-fixed-gear/611915-kilo-tt-lugged-do-mike.html)

nicer dropouts would also be an awesome addition. the ones with the integrated tensioners in the Jamis Sputnik and Genesis Flyer bikes. (i have a feeling those bikes are made in the same Taiwanese factory)

while youre coming up with new bike ideas how about something like this and a little bit of a pursuit style sloping top tube? http://airwalkfixed.blogspot.com/200...store-now.html
make black omniums readily available?
but if you made a super sweet kilo how about 27.2 and something like this http://www.flickr.com/photos/2548470...7604596104538/

lol those are the things i would be looking for right now.

that was my thought. And still you end up with mystery tubes. While BD clearly serves a purpose, their primary market is the cost sensitive buyer.

I got excited when I saw the Kilo deluxe, but will restrain for a lugged frame.

How much are you guys willing to pay for a lugged steel track frame? Lets do some market research for Mike and Tim and any others that might be thinking of a new lugged frame. Aliens start unpainted at $399, white or black for $449, other colors at $498. That's pretty cheap. http://alienbikes.com/

Do you want higher grade tubing? Fancier lugs? More paint options? Nicer bottom bracket? Better dropouts? Chrome? 1" threaded fork or 1 1/8" threadless? Straight fork like the Colnago Precisa or traditional curved?

Im not sure how I feel about those airwalk bikes but if you made some sort of special kilo or bd bike with more aggressive track geometry like a nice sloping downtube, think affinity or geekhouse, I would immediately be sold.

Once it gets into chromed lugs, then it gets a bit more expensive, but $300 - $320 for a lugged frame with w/ or w/o color/chrome treatment sounds way better than what Alien can do. Plus, from the sounds of it, it takes forever and a day to get a bike from Alien, especially if you want a color other than black or white.
