Whats the weight on the 722? Im really digging it in Raw with the Carbon Fork.

Scrodzilla

The Scrods know how to get a party started.

Surprisingly, I never weighed mine before I built it up.

illd - your girl's bike totally looks like Angie's old conversion!

Found this on my local CL (see second bike) for a Leader 725tr. Seems like it's pretty reasonably priced. Too big for me, or I'd go take a look at it.

That crankset looks uh...really nice.

TejanoTrackie 

Yeah, the cranks are garbage, but even w/o them I think the rest is worth $375. Those wheels / tires are decent, worth at least $150 alone and you'd be hard pressed to get a frame + fork + headset for less than $250.

Cglenny

I don't get it. No spider? Is it all one piece?

TejanoTrackie 

Yeah, it's just a really cheap crank with the chainring swaged onto the crank arm such that it cannot be removed. Kinda like this p.o.s. >>> https://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-ROAD-BICYCLE...item20b6596dbe

bump for leader love

TejanoTrackie 

Bump again. New Easton EC90 full carbon seatpost and Tioga Spyder saddle, got the weight under 16 lbs. If it gets any lighter, I'll have to tether it down so it won't fly away.

TT how tall are you. Im 5'5 and i wish i was taller ):

TejanoTrackie 

I'm only 5'-3", so you're a giant compared to me. There's no point worrying about stuff you can't control, and you just have to adapt. Still, I'd rather be short than super tall. At least I can fit in a normal sized car or bed.

PluperfectArson

How do you like the Tioga Spyder? Is it as bad as everything I have ever heard about it?

TejanoTrackie 

Well, I just put it on today and rode for about half and hour on smooth roads in my hood, and it felt fine. I was just wearing sweat pants and briefs, no padded cycling shorts or anything, and I could barely feel the edges, so I think it'll be fine. When I first took it out of the box it felt really hard and unforgiving, but I think it's just shaped very well to provide the correct contact points. It's got a center channel to remove pressure on the perinium. But I guess it's just a matter of personal preference. I like hard saddles, and also find my Brooks Team Pro saddles comfortable.

evilcryalotmore

I thought that saddle was nice and supple because it would flex under you.

PluperfectArson

Hm, interesting. Thanks for the feedback.

I'm looking around for a new saddle, don't know what I want yet, tired of my Arione.

Scrodzilla

Holy crap...that's probably the lightest Leader in existence.

evilcryalotmore

Scrod how much does your's weigh? I've never had my bike lower then 17. I stopped at 17.3

Squirrelli

17 pounds is heavy for your bike size.

Scrodzilla

I need to weigh my 722 next time I'm at the shop. I'm guessing around 18-19 lbs.

My 725 isn't finished yet but will most likely weigh around 18.

Build your own

My 725 weighs 18lbs9oz with a bunch of heavy stuff on it, like deep Vs and dh stem amd riser.

evilcryalotmore

I thought the 725 was goinf byebye.Bro drove down to Leader in SD today he said they have a pretty big weight weenie section

Scrodzilla

There's more to that story than you are aware of.

Nice try, Pinocchio. Leader is closed on Sundays.
