I do not agree with you sharmaji: that is the whole point of owning a street accredited fixie like killo prott: you absolutely Must have dirt, grime and lock scars all over your bike. Why do you think they have the FG freestyle team called The Grime? Though freestyle is a different game: it has similar principles: dirt, grime and lock scars baby!

It's true--the reason I ride is so my bike gets dirty and beat up, baby. Otherwise, baby, people would think I was just some hipster trying to get street-cred points. Baby.

Okay, so if I follow correctly: not keeping your bike sparkly clean is akin to trying too hard to fit in?

Nothing gold can stay. I say embrace entropy.

Robofunc and highonpez: you are both correct! From St. Petersburg, FL to Sheboygan, WI: lets deco that FG

Just put my white pro together last night, shark grey was sold out, oh well. I am pretty impressed and very happy with it overall. Just a note: the cog is 1/8" so you wont be able to use just any chain whip, make sure you get a 1/8 and not a 3/32 if you havent already.

how long does BD usually take to restock? I am looking to get a Kilo Pro but they are out of the 57's right now. I can wait a few weeks but if you have a general idea of how long they usually take it would be helpful.

Thanks,
Aristo

That's like asking us when your local grocery store will have more bananas.

None of us work for Bikes Direct. Try asking here.

I figured someone might know if they only order every few months or something like that, just curious. I asked here because I emailed them but did not get a response.

Give them a few days, they took a few days to respond when I had a question for them last time.

Unacceptable! He - like everyone else - wants answers immediately.

Congratulation... I got my white pro yesterday too... I received with front AND rear brake too... Altough they stated in the spec that only front is provided.
I do not know how much I need one but anyway ... it was a little pleasant surpise...

Also.. I changed the handlebar but at the same time I noticed that 25.4 clamp of different stem works fine - does it mean it is not 26.0 (as they stated in the spec) or 25.4 and 26.0 that close.. Never tried before.

I started with cutting the steerer... :)

The spec may be wrong, but MEASURE. Using a 25.4 stem with a 26.0 bar is a good way to crush your bars and make them go snap.

Yeah... I remember some professor in college was talking about this... But I have one Race Face stem that simply will not let in if the size is wrong... It is 25.4...specs are wrong.
