I had to email them to get an answer on why the Kilo TT didn't ship out as planned.

Looks like I'm one of the unlucky ones also. BikesDirect.com shitty way to run a business.

Now, have to get my money back. I guess its back to scouring craigslist/forums/etc. Anybody selling a complete? 52-53cm in socal? </TD></TR></TABLE>

check out the velospace used bike marketplace.

 

is there any way to remove the crank arms with out the tools? i know it isn't that expensive. but if theres a way someone has done it id try it.

some mavic cxp22's on formula hubs/dt swiss spokes should be good for about $200

</TD></TR></TABLE>
That sounds like a good idea, I found quite a few in the right price range too. So whats the hype about Deep V's then?
edit: other than being BLING and pretty much indestructible?

I like that raw frame. I need a new bike since I sold mine.

 

thoughts?

turns out my windsor hour came with a 15t cog instead of 16t like it was supposed to. someone mentioned it on bfffsg and now everyone says they got 15t as well.

this might explain why the gearing felt long (or longer than i would have thought).

 

yea usually the stock gearing on LBS track bikes is 48/16

 

thats what i currently run.. but this will probley all be changing here shortly

I run a 3:1 too but I fell like its just a tad bit too tall for me.

 

i dont think thats a 2008 TK2.. cause to my knowledge the frame stickers for 08 changed to gold/white. the bike is awesome but IMO riser bars dont belong(bring the hate bitches.. drops for life! ) and i couldnt tell if the fork has a brake hole and the 2006 TK2 fork does not have the hole.. i only mention this cause im unsure of the year of that frame.

yea 2500.00 for that.. makes a lotta people LOL.

 

holy seatpost.

 

LOL at the 2500 price tag.

Hmm, looks like I'll be counting my rear cog today.
