thanks for all comments

Please do some of these in a frame only. You will have my money RIGHT away. Specificly the Chrome/paint combo. Or i'll have to swap parts, and sell my bike with Kilo components.

You know that kilo tt framesets are available at bikeisland.com, right? Maybe not all these colors, but...

the stipper is going to be the same price.

the colors are awesome, especially that raspberry color. i think you guys did a great job appealing to the females, but i just want to raise the idea that as ss/fg cycling begins to become more and more appealing to more people, kids will also start to pick up on it.

younger dudes will also want framesets in not so bright colors im thinking.

edit: is this green different than the one you already have?

I was thinking the same thing. The current green looks a little lighter in color, but it might just be the white balance or something.

Current color:



New color (Apple):

Copper would be pretty cool. Also a darker gold than the current shiny gold, like Pake's dirty gold.

i don't get why the product shots have like 9 spacers for the stem... shouldn't a properly sized frame not need another 4 inches of head tube height

Thanks for asking
We ask for bikes to have the max safe amount of extra fork, as customers can always lower stem, but once cut short - options get limited

We picture with the big shack, so everyone will see they get the options

Probably more shack than most need, but some do like it, and others can move down stem easy.

To answer a few other questions and comments:

We do have Kilo TT without decals coming next month - called TheStripper and in Raw and metallic colors.

The Moto Messengers we have gotten in Pink sold like crazy; so I think there is demand for pink.

Grape Soda we did bring, but not listed as a limited edition color; as Grape Soda has become a 'standard' color on Kilo TT.

These colors are in complete bikes only, not in framesets yet {might do that if enough demand}

I am going to try a lot of other colors that are being suggested by customers - including metallics, fades, chrm / paint combos, pearls, etc. I like having options like this as colors are fun.

thanks for all comments
mike
what is the "raw" going to look like?

What metallic colors is the stripper coming in? Any closer ETA other than "next month"? I'm itching for another build.
