Bars & Sticker

Submitted by tigermilk on 03/12/2011.

Thank you so much :) I actually have vintage upright bars in mind. Velo Orange has some.
You have to get the stickers from the store. If you're not close, maybe you could email them? :)

I liked my stem so I wanted to keep it. I sacrificed a few grams for keeping the -17 angle.

Submitted by the fumingator on 03/06/2011.

I put a rack on my kilo, but had couldnt get panniers to work since the short chainstays = the back of my foot eating the bag. Are you planning on using a top mount bag?

beautiful! I have a plain kilo tt with chromed lower fork and seatstays. how did you get rid of the mercier logo? I think the decal is under the finish, at least on my bike...I figured you just had it repainted but you still managed to keep the rear silver so that's why I'm curious.

I wish I could!

Submitted by tigermilk on 03/12/2011.

I'm not that great at painting haha. I don't care to much for the full bike, considering I could spend a bit more with Craigslist and get GOOD components and throw them on the Mercier, which is actually a very decent-great frame. I got the frameset on BikeIsland.com, they have quite a bit of good stuff.

I originally had the original fork with the bottom half chrome, not all of it; I recently got into an accident and bent the steerer tube.
