Mercier Kilo OS questions
Thinking about buying one of the built Kilo OS's from bikesdirect, but only the 53 is left. Any current owners have any opinion on how the bike fits compared to other fixed gear bikes. I typically ride a 54 or 55 (5'10 with about a 32 inch standover clearance). Also, does anyone know the weight of the bike? Finally, any opinions on rolling resistance with those fatty tires? I'm one of the crowd that actually likes the looks, but just want to make sure it will functionally fit before pulling the trigger on this one. Thanks!

This thread may help with the fit as a 53cm for a person 5'9 1/2" and short legs and it barely fit. https://www.bikeforums.net/archive/in.../t-633252.html

Not sure about sizing, depends on which top tube they measured.

Didn't think it would be prudent to post in a thread that hasn't had any activity in over a year - its not about introducing it to market anymore.

The last one on the list I provided is a clearly 'review' thread.
You know BikesDirect has an e-mail address, right?

The bike is a waste of money and this thread is a waste of time/bandwidth.
