wow...I actually like grinding gear better now hahahahahaha. Thats even more lame....So I guess maybe I should go with a kilo because of the price and colors?
|
Yeah that is a nice bike, and I like the "Lager" a lot.
|
I'd got for Kilo just because it's Reynold 520 and cheap, but go for it if it has the colour you like.
Isn't the Lager same as Fuji Track...which is basically the same as the Hour, which is the same as the...(You get the point) |
The "Landing Gear" stems from the original BMX bike the PK fixed gear is based on. Do a little research before you **** talk it.
edit: I'm not saying that to be a dick, just trying to get across that it's good to learn/know stuff. |
Kilo is the best bang for your buck, but eventually you are going to want to slowly upgrade parts. = $$. If you dont want to, Go with the Wabi. Hell, I'd even just recommend the PK Ripper for the hell of it. It has decent parts and it'll handle the harsh streets of NYC pretty well. + street creds. lulz.
edit: dont know why i said NYC... lmao |
|
hahaha its ok everyone slips the NYC in there sometimes
yeah I think the Kilo is sweet plus I was going for a gold color probably so that might be it. |
well **** dude....thats ridiculous haha. Yeah I just meant that I didnt like the landing gear original quote but I didnt know that was on the other bikes too
|
Also....that redlight color of the kilo is beautiful, I may just go for that haha. But **** man why dropdowns, I hate dropdowns so much. I wish bikesdirect had a choice to order bullhorns or flats. Do you guys know if the bike comes with the drop downs and brakes already on them? I hope not.
Edit: I meant do the brakes come already on the drop downs but now that im looking at the picture they are set up on like they would be on bullhorns so that isnt too bad |
Nah. The kilo's comes with brakes attached(well for mine it did) , cables are in the box, and the levers are pre-attached to the handlebar. The handlebar is not on the bike.
|
Ok thats fine, as long as they arent attached to the dropdowns like the windsor bikes...i hate that so much.
I wish the Kilo Stripper came in Grape like the Kilo TT because the stripper looks so good without the stickers/logos showing. I like the clean look |
BTW does anyone know if the decals on the Kilo TT are above or below the paint?
|
under clearcoat.
|
Yeah I already made my decision. Im gonna go with the Gold 55cm Kilo Stripper and most likely mix some purple and dark green into the mix or something like that. woooooooooooooo awesome guys
|
|
Can everyone give me a bunch of good websites for a lot of parts, specifically wheelsets. Im looking for a purple wheelset
It would be appreciated |
Ill bet $500 that Scrod will recommend VeloMine.

Im still thinking about the feather haha. Its a beautiful bike
|
I'm in the same situation. Trying to decide between a mustard colored fuji feather, and (whatever color is available in my size) Kilo... I'm sure I'd eventually spend almost 300 bucks to make the kilo into something I'm happy with... There's not a ton i'd change on the feather. Maybe polished rims and brown leather saddle/tape/straps. But the blue feather looks hot too... wouldn't change anything on that... maybe white or polished rims... polished king headset on either fuji...
This will be my first road bike, but I have four other bikes that have been built just how I wanted them. Always costs more than I want it to. |

Pistas are overpriced. Their frame isnt that great. It's so expensive just because its a "bianchi". Don't get me wrong, its still a nice bike(except for that ugly fork!) but you could do better. PK Ripper is nice, I'd get it , but I dont do tricks so whats the point? Do you plan on doing tricks? If you are, you should invest in a steel frame, not an aluminum frame.
I used a bit of psychology there. |
