Maybe so. I think Leader measures their frames from the center of the BB to the top of the seat tube where the seatpost is clamped, and on the 725tr the seat mast extends several cm above the top of the top tube. The standover for the 53cm is listed as 744.3cm, which is only about 29.3", so their sizes run small relative to saddle height, but long relative to top tube and reach. So, if you are long legged and short torso / arms, it might not fit very well. I have a 49cm 721tr, and can easily stand over it with only a 28" inseam.
