Quick question from a newbie

From the few days i've lurked the forums i've gathered that the kilo TT is the best bike ever built...

Has anyone ordered the framesets off bikeisland?

Any concerns or comments about these? Is there anything i should know if im going to buy from here?

As I'm residing in Canada i've found the ebay account that will ship here.

IIRC someone on this forum got one with a huge dent in the down tube. But I think they're generally in better condition on average with just some minor scuffs/scratches if anything.

I wouldn't pay $250 for a bare Kilo TT frame. Don't you have a shop near you that can order low end track bikes? There has to be a better option for you.

You can go to town with Visps, theyre cheeap. Some of their frames come with stupid tribal graphics. So be aware of that: unless you want to Bro-out your bike to match with your tribal-bro tattoos.
