For those curious, this is what I picked up:

Won't build it up until winter is over, so think Late February, early March...guess I'm going to take all this time to minimize the costs of parts I need...

Very nice....whats ur wishlist for parts??

[knucks]

I'm not too sure yet, but I think I'll end up getting a Nitto Pearl or just a Deluxe stem (need something 60mm I think) w/ some cheap headset, unless I can find a 1" threaded Chris King for a good price.

My current track cranks are going on that, w/ a simple Shimano sealed BB. The hope is for a Open Pro x Formula front w/ a Deep V x Formula rear for the wheels.

Dual-pivot caliper, my cross lever, some Nitto Bullhorns. Thomson seatpost.

haha knucks you got yr group buy frame before i did and you didn't even do the group buy.

Very nice mate...Chris King is very nice but abit too pricey for my liking. I got my Campagnolo Records in a good price, so have a look around.

For wheelset: Open Pro is a very good choice...how come deep V for rear wheel?

[knucks]

it'll take punishment?

[vee_dub]

it'll take punishment?

My open pro is taking my punishment daily with my fat ass on it.

198lbs 187cm..and its stilll true.

Deep V can take lot of punishment too...I guess u r right.

[ihurduliekme]

so today, sum jackoff chases a squirrel into me. how did i ran it over? it was liek speedbump BALH

its going to die

shuld i laugh/cry?

circl 1 pls:

1.yes

2.no

3.mayb

4.should be in superconfessional

[chingon]

your frame will go before a deep v will go. it may go out of true, but it won't die... and although that may be an exaggeration in some ways, ask a few bent downtubes around here about it...

[chingon]

cry, because squirrels are cute.

[mlproject]

i ran over a pigeon that took a ride through my wheel and got a broken wing once when he flew into my bike. it was pretty funny.

[johnmilner]

^^^sounds gross. I swerve to avoid squirrels almost daily, those little shits are unpredictable.

[mlproject]

thanks to my homie down the street i just got a blue turbo for my whip. shit went from having all white accents to everything being dark. looks so weird.

[ihurduliekme]

btw it wuz not one purpos, just the jackoff runnin it. no time to reakt.

i lookd at it for a whil, then rode off. mad peoplez be staring and penis man was just liek....lulz.

[ericdw]

kuncks i'm lovin the blue groupbuy - there's a pic on bikesforum of it done up in silver and white accents that makes me want a bike i don't need

[vee_dub]

I nearly roll over a rabbit once...!!!

[knucks]

yup, w/ drops? it's sexyyyy

wild style's ride is very nice as well!

[ericdw]

that's the one... pure sex

[knucks]

mmm I think I may be getting some Deep Vs in black..(so I guess I'll have a black/blue theme for the future..)

[dokydoky]

My Mercier finally came today, so nice for $350. The saddle and pedals are rubbish however, and have been replaced. I replaced the bars too, but that's just because I wanted bullhorns.

[knucks]

Wheels on the TT suck as well.

[dokydoky]

Yeah, I've got a set of formula/deep Vs going on it soon, but I don't have to touch those when I'm riding so I'm not as bugged about that.

out of curiosity what makes you say this?

[monkey nuts]

I was riding down by a river in Toronto at night when this big ass racoon ran out right in front of me. missed it but close and it scared the piss outtA ME.

BikeForums chatter, lol

But I've never heard of the wheels/tires/rims that are used on the Kilo...that along with the fact that they are machine-built, I wouldn't put much faith into them.

That being said, ride em til they die, then get a good set.

[doczein]

where exactly does one get 650c wheels?

i've seen messages about 650c aerospokes, but there's nothing about them on the aerospoke site. where 2 kop?

aerospoke doesn't make a 650c.

HED makes a 650c. but it cost $700

i only said that because i have stock kilo rims AND a set of velocity aeros

aside from the aeros using DT spokes and phil hubs, i can't tell any diff in the durability of the 2.

they are both laced the same, and ridden just as hard. the kilo rims have never had to be trued and after more than 500 miles, countless jumps, 2 crashes, they are still true.

same from the aeros, but that is to be expected.

I just want to dispell any uninformed rumours from the hellhole that is bikeforums.
