Mine...sorry for the crappy picture quality


I dont exactly know why the bike is glowing BUT:

60cm Kilo TT frame
IRO Crankset
Weinmanns to formulas
Cinelli stem and bars
sette saddle and seatpost
Ritchey headset

pretty much a budget build but it works for me

dddave

ooh, the white looks good.

they weren't too narrow, i said they felt like i was driving a school bus. they were huge!

JayNev

like the white! just dont like the seat/post. was that a bike island frame?

Pedals stripped cranks, which I need to replace now. I've read the kilo has an ISIS bottom bracket, what are some arms that would work on it? I was looking at Bulletproofs but those need a square taper correct?

iamtim

My bad, I meant to type "too wide". Stupid keyboard.

So here's a recent and more detailed picture of mine, with my new UGLY Pad top-tube pad that I bought just because I like the UGLY Pad guy's attitude about his business and top-tube pads:



(I love taking pics of my bike, heh.)

I wanted a commuter, so I got my first "fixie" a few weeks back and its a blast to ride. Now I just need to figure out a new set of pedals to go with. Any ideas?

iamtim

PowerGrips FTW. Check out the pic of my bike just above.

tim, where did you purchase your toptube pad?

johnnytheboy

A bit off topic, but I want to get an ugly pad for a metallic orange color frame. What would go good with it?

iamtim

If you go to this page, you'll see all the colors that he offers stock. Without seeing pictures of your bike it'd be hard to match it up, but I'd say orange or burnt orange?

It's similar to the orange Motobecane Messenger on BD.

Because it is the Motobecane *cough* from BD.

Snagged one of Ravenmore's picture's to show.

iamtim

Never seen one in person. Hit the UGLY! Pads website and look at the colors.

A question about the Kilo TT fit. I might be getting one soon, and was just checking out the sizes. I am probably fitted for a 57cm (I am 6 feet tall, 30" inseam, long trunk with shorter legs, and average length arms for my height), but just out of curiosity, would the 53cm frame be too small for me? I could probably adjust the seat height, saddle position to suit me, so I was just wondering, if any, where would fitting issues arise from a person my size riding a frame like that? The reason I ask is I thought it would make a nice "play" size. Anyways, it's kind of a newbie question so sorry, but answers are very much appreciated!

dddave

that black and orange moto-b looks great. i've always liked halloween color schemes.

mks gr-9's, mks steel toe clips, toshi straps (double or single, whichever you like).

I'm just under 6-3" with what I thought was a 33" inseam and I got the 57cm, and I'm very glad I didn't step it up to the 60cm, because this somehow still feels a bit larger than my old bike. The only issue I see in you opting for the 53 over the 57 is the increased toe overlap to consider on sizes 53 and under.

JayNev

yeah i'm 6'3" with the 60cm, and i think i just fit on it. i think i could fit on the 57cm.

I just got my Kilo TT from the UPS fairy the other day and was amazed at how crappy the paint job really is! WOW. Other than that it serves as a great light weight bike to mash around the city with, after switching out almost all of the components still more to go (i'll post pictures soon). Anybody know a good powder coat studio in NYC area???
