Oh....that's their steel frame w/ polished stainless lugs. I don't think that's available anymore either.

Massan's ratio for brakeless in SF blows my mind.

I know. Especially when you see him busting out skids like it's nothing.

Makes me almost feel like I'm putting HID headlights in my Yugo.

The fork may be expensive but it's worth every dollar IMO.

The fork is worth it IMO, 100% cf, true track fork, very light, very stiff, very nicely made.

Despite all the hate and half-assed builds, Leader still has a place in my heart. Maybe I'll sell my IRO someday and get some spiffy new frame.

This is the frame I originally wanted but the geometry never would have worked for me. Looooong top tube and I'm not built like a primate (like a certain someone around here
).This is really nice:
Love the blue/chrome!

yah i was seconds away from pulling the trigger on that lugged white frame (so awesome looking) but the top tube was just waaaaay too long for my liking/comfort. and i have decently long wingspan. i didn't want to have to lay down on the bike to ride it (exaggerating)
oh but those other new leaders are quite spiffy. that blue one and scrods being the only builds ive seen of them, but both are quite nicely done. im sure someone will jackass together a crap build and post it sooner or later

I've seen quite a few hack 722 builds. Look around on Google. You'll find 'em.
