thoughts on the windsor timeline
 

how would you rate this bike? better than the kilo tt, the hour?

Those are all pretty much completely different bikes. What are you going to be using the bike for?

im going to be riding around the neighborhood. sometimes riding 10-12 miles. not super long rides.

Do you have any preferences to start?

i dont understand the question?

which bike would you prefer out of those thre nagrom?

I ride a Kilo TT Pro.

The question was: Do you have any disposition towards one of the bikes you mentioned?

oh no im a newbie this will be my first bike since i was in the 7th grade. im 28 now

personally, I'd get the Timeline. It has mounts for fenders/racks, has a nice relaxed geometry, and has clearance for wide tires if you ever wanted to, has most of everything you could want.

Bianchi Pista Dalmine 2012 Single Speed Road Bike i think im going to get this one. but i need a reliable website that has a 57cm. im 5"10 - 5'11.

What about the Timeline? It's a good bike...

Howd you go from having trouble deciding between 3 300-400 dollar bikes, to being set on a 1000 dollar bike?

lol i just saw it 30 mins ago and really liked it. this is the bike im going to get. final answer lol

Impulse?... sleep on it.

Some rational decision making process right here.

I hear bikesdirect is blowing these out for Windsor as a special promotional deal.

I ride a Timeline seems like i might be one of the few that do. I like mine it's relaxed has a sloping top tube which like, it's a very versatile bike you can use wide tires mount racks,fenders here's a few pics of mine.

My Windsor Timeline. I bought this used as a donor bike (wheels, crank, etc) but went a different way on that project, so now I have this. I realize the original poster bought a Bianchi, good for him, this thing is a tank. Fsa Carbon Seatpost, Turbo Saddle, Fsa Vision Stem, 3TTT bar, Dia Compe Levers; granted the 32c tires might add a pound or two, but I had a 2007 Fuji Track with pretty much the same component spec, a Brooks B17 and the exact same pedals; it weighed 20lbs (61cm). As you see it, Windsor Timeline = 26lbs, 9oz!
Other than the weight, it doesn't ride too bad, kinda slow and dull, might be good if you drink too much. The stock gearing is too tall for a fat tire, fendered street bike (46 - 15), the graphics are ugly and impossible to remove, and the rack mounts are useless, 4" too far up the stay to fit a Blackburn rack.
I have no attachment to this bike, other than my other bikes are victims of my constant tinkeritis and are unable to be ridden. I will get rid of this bike soon.
