looking for a new frame !
Well I am giving my frame to my little brother so we can both ride fixed this summer and because the frame suites him better
I have a budget of maximum 300$
I would like something light
Steel or aluminium doesn't mater
I don't need racks or anything related to a commuter but I use my bike to commute
bb English standard threading
Frame size would be between 56 and 58
I hope you can help me find something that would fit my needs

Is your budget for frame + fork $300 or just the frame. I don't think the Kilo is your best option if you're building one from the frame up. The kilo is only popular because it's a solid complete, not a remarkable frame. A lot of people on here have recently bought the Leader 722TS which looks like a pretty sweet frame. There have been some nice looking builds with them. You could get a 722TS frame and a chrome track fork for $300 from retro-gression.com

Another question popped in my head I live in a city with ****ty road where potholes are usal is the carbon fork weaker in term of durability then the steel fork or it's ok for road use?

coghouse has the black friday deals up again as a holiday/end of year sale so the 722ts frame and fork are at 199 before shipping, that's quite the deal for 25 more you can get a carbon fork
