Oooh, if that's still around lunchtime tomorrow I'll be heading out to Garden Home. I'm not gonna stick it in a Kilo tho. 1997 KHS Comp rather. The ass end of that bike is way too heavy and getting rid of the 400mm Kalloy LaPrade should help a bit.

Personally, I wouldn't trust anything off Craiglist. Had too many bad experiences with that site

I'd love to find something like that around here to build over the winter.
So far I found just one kilo frame on ebay and the guy can't even tell me the size.

Meet the seller at your favorite LBS, have them check the item(s) over. If you make arrangements in advance, they shouldn't have a problem with that.

There's no way you'd be able to slam that wheel without it rubbing.
Having experience with the way Fuji does things, it's actually because they make one size seat tube and put it on different size frames. Cutting a bit off the bottom of the tube makes the cutout not match up with the wheel.

I wasn't sure whether to post in Jackass or here. Decided to lump the ebay with the CL, though...

Hmmm, is 725 geo similar to 721's? Retrogression lists the 55cm's top tube @ 567.8mm, pretty long.
