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)

Leader Love!

Heya...been lurking for a while. Loving the Leaders...looking to purchase a frame this month.

Can't decide....722ts or 725tr? Will be used for a daily rider, work commute, etc.

I know steel is a more comfortable ride in general...just curious to those who have ridden both models.

Thoughts?

I love the 722ts and as far as a steel frame goes its very sprinty and light. I have an aluminum track frame (not a leader) and it certainly isnt what I would want for a daily commuter. The 722ts has been a great happy medium between an aluminum frame and a steel frame. I want to ride it again but im waiting on parts...

aluminum is second sexier in the raw, right next to titanium.

just sit tight guys; I just have to find some good background scenery.

Thanks for the info...Just ordered the 722 in black with S805 fork.

Was hard to locate a black frame...leader is all out. Luckily iMiNUSD had one last 55 in stock.

Stoked!
