Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Deda Mistral tape. I'm not to keen on the repetitive logos (they're all wearing off anyway) but it's comfy.

So, I posted this in the Retrogression thread, but I think it is more apt to be in the Leader thread:

Does anyone think the black or the white Pake track fork would look weird on a matte black or the gloss white 721? If so, what (relatively inexpensive) fork do you recommend?

Any fork with a standard-sized crown is going to look wonky when paired with the oversized head tube on Aluminum Leaders. There is a slightly less expensive carbon solution - with the correct rake - right on the horizon.

yea leader gone wrong with the pricing here at 499 / imho they should have kept it under 400, plus you haveto shell out 300$ for a fork ... even with the 100$ alu fork it becomes really expensive. At 800/900$ that opens up a whole bunch of options for buyers..

they should really start better pricing as frame+fork combo i feel.. i dont think any1 wants to buy a aftermarket fork with a wrong rake with their bike. they only do coz they cant afford the 300$ pricetag. i hope leader launch the less exp carbon solution with a combo pricing soon scrod!!!

The principle for the 735 is for it to be much lighter than the rest of leader's line up; the lightest of their track frames. It has much thinner tubing than that of the 725, hence the lighter weight but there comes a tradeoff of durability. Last year they were notoriously known for a easily dentable down tube. They were designed for more track racing than street riding.

Not sure of the changes/ improvements because I do not care enough for the new 735 to go and research it because of the lack of last year's track ends. THE LEADER TR735 IS SO OVER!!!!!
