Thanks. Looks like I need to study up on track geometry. I can fit me on a road bike, but these sizes are way different. Looks like longer head tubes are common, and some brands only go up to a 58cm seat tube. I'm assuming a higher saddle to handlebar height makes up for smaller seat tubes, which also gets you into the more aggressive track position, ya?
And yeah, Chrono Trigger is great. Always my favorite.

Why do we need a steel kaegero? I feel like with the Afinity Lo Pro, Cinelli Mash, Leader Kaegero, and Dodici Special, this doesn't really take care of any new niche.
Also this x bajillion. It looks so bad and pointless. Put that effort into sweet lugs or something.

Might not take care of anything new, but it surely makes it more accessible, as those are all +$500 framesets.

I'm glad the wheel actually fits into the seatpost cutout now.

saw this on leaders site a few days ago black kagero build. I dunno about the black I kinda like that silver/raw color of the original ones but the black does seem to be more conspicuous.

Painfully average.
The "Phantom Pearl" is a very boring color TBHIMO.
I like the blue one, but not digging the yellow coloring. I'm very happy with my original one.

Yeah I was gonna say the same thing about the lettering it doesn't go well with the black or the blue. that's kinda what turns me off about it. If they want to pull that kind of lettering off they should go for flat olive green like the military style.

Just ordered my 735 fame in gloss white. So stoked to get my build started. Now just to get all the other parts together. I was wondering I have a I806A fork and what headset goes well with it?
