Hah, true I did say that. Definitely added to the list. Thanks for the help

Nagrom - Thanks a lot for helping me.

So 54cm is probably going to be too small?

I would also get the phantom cross instead.... so you should post that geo chart too.
Post all your options, so you can get sized now, and not have to start another thread when you actually decide to buy.

based on your measurements, yes.

Here is the Kilo TT . Attached is the Uno

Sizing: (c-c = center to center seat tube, c-t = center to top, TT = top tube c-c)
44cm (c-c) is 47cm(c-t) with TT of 503mm* and standover of 28.5 inches*
47cm (c-c) is 50cm(c-t) with TT of 513mm and standover of 29 inches
50cm (c-c) is 53cm(c-t) with TT of 523mm and standover of 30.4 inches
53cm (c-c) is 56cm(c-t) with TT of 548mm and standover of 31.5 inches
55cm (c-c) is 58cm(c-t) with TT of 565mm and standover of 32 inches
57cm (c-c) is 60cm(c-t) with TT of 575mm and standover of 33 inches
60cm (c-c) is 63cm(c-t) with TT of 606mm and standover of 34 inches
63cm (c-c) is 66cm(c-t) with TT of 630mm and standover of 35.5 inches
(*estimated measurements of new size)

I guess for the TT the 53cm would make sense?

I'd put you on a 55cm Kilo and a 56cm Uno.

The main measurement you're worried about is the top tube.

Thanks so much. You guys are awesome.

You have to post pics when you get it though.

And they have to be posted in the right thread.

Wait, are you sure you have measured correctly? I would measure once again and use centimeters. There is no way every part of you is solid inches. Based off the charts, you have a super long torso / arms compared to legs. Doesn't look right to me.

Measure again, with cm. Get as accurate as you can. If you are 41.25cm in a measurement, that is what you use.

Your inseam is 31 inches. Then standover of a 55cm kilo is 32 inches. Which means trying to straddle the bike will have you dangling your feet off the ground.

I remeasured. 55cm is good for me.

Just an FYI, bikes direct just got a bunch of Kilo TT Pros in. I would get one myself but I need front and back brakes. Seems they just supply the front brakes on BD.

I got front and rear with mine.

Hmm, just says front brake with lever here. http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/...ott_pro_xi.htm

I'm looking for a track bike as well for around $400 that i can ride to college and was planning to get the Kilo TT PRO but i really hate the fork on it. Other then that, i heard its great and the price is good. I'm going to keep looking around and if i find a bike that i like ill post it

Hopefully you either live close or are not bringing a lot of stuff with you!

I live really close and dont carry stuff with me other then a book and notebook.

I think i'm going to end up getting the Kilo TT and upgrading the wheelset on it

Yea, i'm about 1 day away from going with the Kilo. I was really hoping to find a stripper edition out there because i love the clean look, but I guess that is just being too picky. Most of the good single speed options out there have big decals on them.

Couldn't remember what size you were, but here's a few local options. Should be able to get the price down on a few, especially the unused SE draft...

Thanks NcA13.

I checked them out and the last one looks decent. Any idea what kind of bike that is? The guy isn't getting back to me.

The other ones are little small (I think I need a 55cm), but if that last one is one of the bikes that runs big it could be an option.

What do you guys think of this one? http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/bik/3279276778.html

Not too familiar with jamis, so not sure how that price point is.

You could definitely talk him down from that point. Its all stock, and its four years old? At least $100 could be knocked off of the price.

Yea, is it a good bike to get? Or is the kilo TT a better option? I did some research on the forums and it seems good.

That's the last year that the Sputnik was actually a quick bike. The '10-'12 models are lower grade cromoly, lesser components, etc. I'd see if he'd drop it to $350, for the Boston marketplace, that's a fairly reasonable price. I'd say it's a solid starter, would take well to a new crankset & wheels at some point, and the usual cockpit customization.

run, don't walk, to get that bike...

'09 sputnik is exponentially better than newer versions...some version (i can't remember which) of reynolds steel maxway frame & carbon fork. of course you want to try to knock him down a little on the price some, but if it is in decent shape & fits you...an older sputnik is a great bike.

good luck...

How does it compare to something like a brand new Kilo TT though? What makes it better if it is?
