Help me out here:
 
So I'm deciding between buying a 2010 black fuji feather or a kilo tt custom paint (cause I want the brakes) but I can't really tell what's the better deal. Also, I can get them both for $400. Right now I'm leaning towards the fuji feather but really only because these forums tend to bash Bikes Direct. What would you guys get and why?

Also is it me or is the 2010 black fuji feather just kinda bland?

Thanks,

Gerald

Are you kidding? This forum will recommend any Kilo TT over a Fuji Feather anyday. So there is your answer.

Kilo TT, yes

Kilott

**** a Feather!

Thanks for the feedback! Kilo TT it is. But I'm worried about one last thing: is the track geometry of the TT hard on the neck and shoulders after long rides? Does that only happen if you have the wrong fit? Or is it something your body adapts to?

Just ask Sheldon Brown for this: http://sheldonbrown.com/pain.html

However: your back and your neck should start to adjust riding in the drops. Don't think you can just jump in and ride for hours, it'll take a bit to get used to. But for a more proper answer refer to the pro-bro's on this forum.

KiloTT is not track geometry at all. Kilo will be very comfortable for street.

plus it looks better after you replace the seat, seatpost, cranks, wheels, pedals, handlebars, headset, stem and get a threaded fork.

FTFY, hehe

Well, I ended up getting neither of the bikes lol. Just ordered a Motobecane Messenger. You guys still helped me out though on my current choice so thank you!

Still a good bike, congrats.
