Help me pull the trigger...

So, sold my conversion. Buying a bike for the track.

I was going to get a chrome kilo stripper, but they sold out of my size, might be better this way, I was buying it purely for aesthetics. SO:

Kilo TT Pro or Dawes SST AL?

The Dawes would be theoretically lighter, being aluminum and having a carbon fork. The TT has more aggressive geometry.

Dawes SST AL
Dawes geo (size 56)

Kilo TT Pro
TT geo (size 55)

Thoughts?

I used to own a dawes sst al, i wouldn't recommend it for the track. The bb is really low on that bike plus it has cable guides. not to mention the kilo pro has a better crankset

I was curious about the BB drop, thanks.

I've been leaning towards the Pro.

I vote for the kilo as well.

There is a track cycling forum, that is where these questions should be asked.

You're going to want the more aggressive geometry.

It barely gets any traffic, so I opted to post here. I understand the point though.
