Finished pics of my chrome/blue/white kilo
Hey guys, just finished up my kilo today. I'm 100% happy that I went with the quill stem in the end! What you think?

Very well done ... :thumb:
The quill stem is perfect along with the bars ... one suggestion, swap the saddle to white. |
I think the blue cranks don't match the other blue parts too well.
get polished aluminum cranks. and a white saddle |
Yea the seat i was debating between blue and white and I think I chose the wrong one. The crank blue doesn't match perfectly, but it matches better in person. It looks even darker than it is in he pictures for some reason. Later on I may play with the seat and crank some more, but I just dumped too much money so I gotta cool it for a while and enjoy it lol.

White chains are even worse than white tires in being fantastic at becoming non-white.
I had a white kmc bargain chain on my now retired peugeot conversion for around more than a year and it has stayed out of the box white on the sides despite a year of daily commuting. |

Daaaaaaaaaaamn, Illinois is way too far away. I wouldn't last a month. I went to school in Hoboken, NJ and wished I was in the city every day. Where in queens you live? BTW, the camera is a Nikon D90 and then lens is the 18-105mm. I recently got into the whole photography thing and love it. Never run out of things to take pictures of here.
i have alrdy begun cursing this place randomly haha, the locals dont appreciate it much. and nice. but nikon really? ehh haha im using a t2i with usually an 85mm 1.8 or 50 1.8 on. you should try out some primes. theyre a whole lot of fun and you know, one speed bike, one focal length lens. yay for minimalism [edit] i live in elmhurst |

Motorists and cyclists nearby will be severely blinded by your bike.

This is a common misconception. My white chain stays white and I've only thoroughly cleaned it once in the past year. Also, I never clean my white Rubinos and guess what?

That's a beautiful ride. Wow.

What stem is that? Origin8?
I agree with the others, a white saddle would look better than the blue. |

haha i want to see the lock you have for that bike!
i think ive been spoiled here in il, been locking my bike with a 8mm coil all year and no problems. then again, its a schwinn world tour conversion. but i already have a mini u on its way to my house in ny for my kilo s3x. still wouldnt want to lock my bike up for too long. i can just imagine turning around for a second and coming back to nothing but an empty bike rack in nyc. |
