Hey guys!
I’m interested in buying this Kilo TT, but it’s a size 53cm. I’m 5’5 with about a 28” inseam and I usually ride a 52-53cm so I thought it would be a good buy, but after reading some stuff on Reddit i’m seeing that their sizing is diff from most brands. The size charts show that it’s probably going to be too big, but wanted to ask anyways.
Do you guys think it’ll be too big for me?
Thanks!

TT are measured center to center which would make this frame more about a 55cm. The WT models are measured center to top.
The seller may or may not know this so the bike he has for sale may actually be a 53. mayhaps asking the seller for the headtube measurement and compare on the bikes direct website to make sure. hope this helps
Yeah 53cm kilo tt is about a 56cm in other brands so it would be pretty big.
You’re probably going to want the 50cm, maybe even the next size down, 48 or 47cm.
Okay gotcha! Thanks for the insight guys! I really appreciate it 🙏🏽 also the head tube looks smaller than the 53cm kilos i’m seeing online. Idk lol just throwing that out there if it helps at all

oh wow didn’t even realize size difference can be that big depends on how the brands measure..
53 will be too big for you. That’s my size and I’m 5’10 with a 30inch standover. You will likely need a 47cm frame for a good fit but can probably stretch on a 50cm, though I wouldn’t recommend it.
Kilo tts generally run really big as it is. they even say so on their website.
that’s a sweet looking bike though, but what in the world is goin on with that cable routing lol.
Hey guys I’ve got an update! I asked the seller to measure the seat tube and it measures 53cm so it’s actually the Kilo size 50cm. Gonna check it out tomorrow and see if it fits okay 😀
Really can’t get past that brake cable
That long cable is like – 5000 fixie points
