Eric, thanks for the offer. Those look nice but not exactly what I'm looking for.
Mackenzy, awesome bike! Looks like a lot of fun, thanks for sharing. Erik, good point about the Kilo WT. I actually have a few TT's in my attic collecting dust. Fun bikes but they've fallen out of favor for me lately. Max, I'll drop you a line. A Simpleone is more along the lines of what I'm looking for.
