I have a Kilo TT as well. Make sure you tighten the stem/headset at your LBS or do it yourself. I am about to scrap the frame and just buy a Leaders frame and fork to play around with.

thanks for all the help guys. im decided to go with the hubs that you are talking about whizz. i actually decided to before you said that, but reinforcing my decision is always good.

^Agreed on tighten headset. I would almost find a good lbs to do it for you honestly and pay em the small labor fee. I tried to tighten mine and I think I made it worse.

Best you can do is just watch them do it so you can have some future knowledge of how to tune it up later. Also best way to tell if your fork/headset have too much play is just lifted up the bike by the frame and seeing if the wheel dramatically turns by itself and hits the frame.

Found this up in the attic about 2 years ago, i just found interest in it again. Didn't have time to mess around with it last time, so i've decided i should now. Does anyone know if i can convert this to a fixie?

22/Male/Cali. You?
Damn I feel old saying 22 :L...

PICS!!!

Not 100% complete, but Im stoked. SHOULDA been done on my birthday (Tuesday) but nooooo...

Upgrade:
Suzue Discos to Mavic Open Pros.

Upgrade:
Fizik Arione. Was supposed to trade a friend for a black one, then sell the Motobecane, but I got dicked. Therefore, beater bike.

Upgrade:
Thomson Seatpost (where is it?!)
Free Bontrager Super light seat (THANKS SUMMIT!) [like they would read this.]

Still need to:
- Wrap Nitto B123s with Cinelli Tape, and throw onto Cannondale. (White tape

- New Risers on beater Motobecane. (White grips or Red Ourys? I have both :\)
- Swap Wheelset from Motobecane and Garneau.
- Get "Gold"KMC chain tmrw morning for Garneau.
- Decide when Im gonna throw on both MKS doubles... Theyre too pretty, theyre new :\.
- Not sure if Im diggin the stem on the Garneau. It looks ok, but kinda eh...

Sigh.
BB on the Garneau is slightly too long. About 2 threads are showing from the cups, on the left side. Oh well, I dont care. Its fully packed in as much as it could be, and I dont feel like running back and forth between two bike shops.

But, Im DONE! Finalfuckinly.

Better pics when I take them out for a test spin, to check the fittings.

Who gives a fuck how much of the BB is hanging out? As long as your chainline is spot on it doesn't matter about a couple of mm's.

You got plenty of bikes though. I could do with a beater in addition to my lo-pro.
