Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Exactly - meaning to check the Kilo's other measurements to see if, in fact, a 55 may be a better choice considering he said his inseam is 32". I feel bad for your customers, if you even work at a shop. Is "knee slapper" a tech term?

Keep it up, dude. I can go all night and - unlike you - will still be here tomorrow.

Gt, I don't know you, and yes I'm new here, but you're annoying.
You give decent advice (occasionally) but other than that your posts are an eyesore.
Just let things be man. No need to give others a hard time on the forums.

Fixed gears are obviously 2008. You "hipsters" are behind. Please, move onward to the proceeding geekdome.

If you can't answer it we can't even come close.

Probally. My bro just ordered his chrome one. they restocked because he put his order in and they didnt tell him it was out of stock and he sent them and email and they sent him some tires for the hassel or something.

I've never tried emailing them. When I did have a challenge (I ordered the wrong size) it took a day or so to get in touch with them, but once I did speak with the lady in their service department eveything was on the up and up. She took my cell number called be back several times to keep me updated, and even shipped me the correct size frame without having the wrong one back in their inventory.

I'll buy from them again.

I wasn't digging the chrome on the 2011, unless you see one without it, point me in that direction! Also the 2010 comes with free brakes, and it's a little cheaper. Is the 2011 that much different, doesn't seem like that parts changed much.

Maybe because I'm somewhat of a noob, I see no difference. Just a little different. If the parts didn't change much from the 2010, I think you are good. It's either compromise a little or wait for the 2010 to be back in stock.
