    Sweet, let's go. Name a time and a meet up place.

    If it's in by then I'll let you know. They'll call me as soon as it shows up. I just ordered it yesterday though.

    Really? Any idea how long it takes them to get it in?

  1.  

    Universal cycles is really fast.
    Call em. They do a lot of online business but have the store in NW.

    krysten,

    You may not know this but the pake is made with straight gage tubing :(

    the kilo TT is made from reynolds 520 double butted tubing :)

    the kilo TT is lighter, will have a better ride, and come in 4 colors, the pake is black only.

    shit i sound like a I work for mercier.

    Hmm. Well the color's no issue, I'm planning on getting it powdercoated anyways. The problem is I don't think they sell just the frame - although the complete bike price is jaw-dropping. I really want to build up my own bike. Plus I have my heart set on a specific 27.2mm carbon fiber seat post.

    But I've been going back and forth for awhile now. You're making this decision more difficult!

    Link?

    It still won't fit the carbon fiber seat post I want though. But I may be able to change my mind.

  4.  

    bikeisland.com

    the "aero wing" posts? they come in 27.0 too. actually i just saw a nice one at city bikes I did not buy because it was 27.0 rather than the 27.2 my frame uses. I have a nice CF straight post, super light n stiff like 130grams light. $15 at city bikes, and a 200gm forte sl seat, $20 damn i love that place.

    and ps, I knew you were a female, I clicked on your name and saw your pic. I just didn't wanna treat anyone different based on sex.

  6.  

    i really edge you toward the kilo TT, It's a nicer frame. and will build into a nicer bike. My GF is ordering one tonight.And I'd take one over my leader anyday. dont let the 53-57 sizing jump fool you. Just look at the actual seat tube and top tube lengths and go from there.

  7.  

    the SL has the taint cutout right?
    I need to get one of those.

  8.  

    buying one once my whole leader thing is done with, cant wait for it. its fgonna be a green one! yay!

    No, the Ascent post - only comes in 27.2. Oh and I wasn't referring to you - got some whispers from two other people referring to me as a guy. Appreciate you treating everyone equally!

    they also have paulaner in a very large glass....and during happy hour it's 3 dollars if I recall. during the day(If you ask real nice and it's late) they have this tofu broccoli dish with this delicious asian sauce that is amazing.

    Oh, hmm. That is weird. Well, I'm fucking conflicted. White Folks would practically pay me to buy the Kilo TT. But I was planning on getting the Pake. Huge price difference. I can't seem to make a decision.

    I am with him....seatposts shouldn't be a deciding factor....the pake is heavy and unresponsive.
