    If and when i sell my leader i would like to get a Mercier. I really like the green and wanted it in that color. should i get one now or wait for the mercier pro to come out? Help deciding would be appreciated.

    i'd wait for the pro. it'll be way nicer tubing and a lot more colors (in case you like another more than the green)

    It's still going to be awhile for the Kilo TT Pro... the guy at BD told us May and the industry has been having a bunch of delays.

    yo, rock the leader till the pro comes out. You'll have a better bike in the long run. I'm learning that this is how patience works.

    fuck. i want it now!

    you're not old jeezy pdx, no rush!

    white folks is right though. waiting will be a lot better since you'll be able to get exactly what you want

    my understanding is the actual frame is identical to the current mercier, just with nicer tubing

    you won't have room for full fenders though, look forward to raceblades or similar

    really zelah?

    i got full fenders on my khs (same frame as kilo tt).

    you have to shave the front one a bit down at the top (by a few inches really, so the tire doesn't rub), and the rear is cake if you have the axle about halfway or farther in the track end, with 700x23's.

    full fenders are definitely possible.

    I'm talking about the 50cm at least. front on mine was not going to work with anything i could find.

    you're probably right though, with some modification it could work

    so, $199 for the white tt....
    should I buy it tonight?

  18.  

    I'm about to get that green.

    GAh. I can so not afford this. Any advice on way cheap BB+cranks+headset?

  19.  

    i believe its threaded so a cheapy is easy to get

  20.  

    It's actually a great frame to transition from a conversion i think.

    Thats what I'm hoping for. Plus I've got a threaded stem and bars/wheels/the rest, so all I need is the BB/headset, and new cranks because mine are terrible BMX ones. I think I'll bug walton about sizing tomorrow. Walton: you've been warned.

    I'm buying this frameset next monday when I get paid. This came out just in time too! (car+bike= me needing a new bike)

  23.  

    buying it. what kind of headset and stem should i get? also this would have to be on the cheap

  24.  

    and what color? i was thinking since i have a set of white deep vs and a black crankset i could go with the black or white but those colors are so plain.

    From the website Max is talking about it includes shipping in the price so all together it's $199. There's another site where they'll sell a complete for $349 shipped but the only catch is they don't ship until May unless you ride a 60cm frame they have those in stock in green I think.

    I love my LBSs. But none of them have quality $200 frames. So the internet it is.
