That's what I'm saying. From everything you read around here, there should be tidal waves of Kilo TTs rolling down the street, but I never actually see any "in the wild", except for mine.

Aww, man. I was really looking forward to taking the train down to San Diego one day to ride around, with a plan to stop by the shop.

The SE Draft is utter garbage. I know this for a fact because I have one. It's the only bike in my stable that I wouldn't feel bad about if it were stolen.

I don't have one and I wouldn't buy one, but I'd ride this:

And this:

There are way worse starter FGSS bikes out there for sure.

That's fine, as long as your bike stays outside.

Weird hearing about the lack of Kilo TTs in your necks of the woods. Any given day in Philly I see at least one or two. Even been seeing a good amount of WTs pop up.

Pista Sei Giorni a little beaten up with an ugly stick:

Me too. They still have the frame and fork set at Bike Island. I keep going over there and looking at it longingly.

And I would totally rock one of those P.K. Ripper fixed frames. Probably out of reminiscence for the BMX days of my youth, heh.

"Lover" is a bit strong.

Just be careful you don't snap it in half.

I knew a rider who broke one in half several years ago, and saw a few more instances of the same thing on the web. Probably not a real concern unless you're jumping down stairsets and such with it, but...
