Winter bike, fun project, a blast to ride. Decided on this pretty little frame over the Pake C'Mute. I built it with my long-gone Nishiki fixed gear conversion in my heart.

Frame Saver and cartridge bearings for the rain. Braek coz I dunno how to ried bieks.

Thanks Merry Sales!

Sold it to my roommate. She was a faithful steed, but I sold her like a filthy whore for grocery money. Making room for my next project, a 70s Botecchia with a seized seatpost.

I am most honored! I do miss this one from time to time, just not the clearance issues. I should get around to posting my winter bike for this season. Thank you for your kind words!

when putting fenders on is 23c the biggest tire you can fit?

yeah... probably

Submitted by the fumingator on 07/04/2011.

I'd have to do some pulling and tugging every once awhile on the front fender to keep it from rubbing even with the 23c's. It worked pretty well though, minus the fender/toe overlap.

It's nice to see a practical Kilo. I just got one in the same size and I'm glad to see fenders will fit. Nice build.

thanks!

glad you like it. Yeh, the fenders fit fine; only issue is a bit of toe overlap. But it's nice to have a frame with zippy handling that also has all the necessary drillings and eyelets for fenders, racks, etc.

looking forward to seeing your Kilo; btw I like the setup on your schwinn traveler. Reminds me of my conversions way back ol' when :)
