Mercier Kilo OR Kilo Stripper

Ive finally decided on buying the kilo but after deciding on getting the raw stripper version, i stumbled upon a chrome edition of the regular kilo. i would much rather prefer the chrome edition frame but i also have the money to get the stripper. are the upgraded component on the stripper really worth the price?

Wouldnt paying $20 extra for the Kilo TT pro be a better idea. But If you were to only compare kilo tt vs stripper, i guess people pay the extra for the decal-less frame.

Isn't the chrome version decal-free as well? Is BD even still selling those as complete bikes?

im just wondering if the wheels on the stripper and chain and stuff like that are worth the extra little money. The chrome goes for like 360 and the stripper goes for like 380. i wish they made a chrome stripper :\

I wouldn't pay extra money for a chain upgrade..
