First Kilo, frameset got destroyed in an accident about a month back so..

I went and ordered a black magic kilo stripper. Wanted to size up anyway! More pics to come once the sun comes out, love this paint job, thinking about slapping some vintage mercier decals on there

Lookin at the reach and the amount of spacers, I think you could have even another size bigger.

fixie foo

I already jumped two sizes from the first kilo ( 53 to a 57 ) and it fits me great, I'd be too afraid to go any larger than what i have already

SquidPuppet

I'm seriously NOT trying to be a jerk, but what would you be afraid of? How tall are you?

Huffandstuff

So jealous, I love that bike.

fixie foo

a little over 6' with a 33.5 inseam, the next size up has a 34in standover and while i know its not the most important measurement i still think that'd be too much for me.

prooftheory

It isn't just "not the most important measurement"; it is a completely irrelevant measurement, unless you like to stand over your bike instead of riding it.. You got a bike that was too small.

fixie foo

Well I'm certainly comfortable with the fit of the bike

thedapperest

Are you seeing the saddle height at all?

TenSpeedV2

I would like to see a picture of you on the 53 vs the 57. 57 would be the bare minimum I would go, and I am your height with a shorter inseam. Currently on a 58 for both bikes.

SquidPuppet

Yes, which increases my belief that the bike is on the small side for the rider.

woa woa woa. what happened to Independent? I've been away from skating for a while.

fixie foo

These measurements are C-C for what its worth, so the 57cm is a 60 c-t with a 57.5 tt

They are mostly Asia made now, and you can def tell the difference. They feel super cheap. I broke two hangers last year, in one summer of moderate grinding. And the kingpins are TOTAL pos.

Wspsux

Thats really a bummer. I was planning to build up a board to cruise around and do some slappys or whatever. No more stairs or rails. I don't like breaking my bones anymore. I wanted to use either independent or Venture since thats what I used back when. I really like the Brian Adams punk nose boards now but I haven't bought anything yet. Don't tell me speed demon, lucky and spitfire are **** now too. Otherwise I'm going to abandon all hope, walk into a Zumiez and kill myself.

edit : Jason Adams. I know, KMS

T13

Hahaha Brian Adams!

Spitfires are still mostly USA made. I've been buying the Canadian Made, Canadian Maple plain decks for about 5 years now and I love them. They are cheap and tough, and you can get good "old school" pool shapes. I used to love Ventures and Trackers.

Andersper

Nice. I ordered my Classic a couple of days ago.

What kind of bars is that?

thedapperest

I ride Indys still and they feel perfectly good to me. Never had a problem.

thedapperest

Are you serious? That's barely raised, I'd actually say it's a tad big for him

mike868y

soma hwy one.

SquidPuppet

I was looking at this one. Looks like about 80mm of stem spacers too.

thedapperest

That's the one he said got destroyed in a crash
