Very interesting, I wasn't aware there was so much hate towards them nor that they were made by anyone else. Thanks for the heads up. BTW from my experiences they're just fine.. stiff and look good AKA what a crankset should do, the only oddity about them is the BCD but I've found plenty of rings for them. I assume the hate is because it's not 144bcd and not made by sugino?

I have this function on my bike too but I just want to ask why part of the leader bikes have it while some do not. I know theres no answers so I am just wondering

I got some food from a taco truck last night and noticed that some of the tacos had chicken in them and some came with other kinds of meat. Why is that? All the tacos came from the same truck, shouldn't they all be the same?

That's why i don't eat from food vans, sub quality food. **** i shudder to think what they do to keep things sanitary in one of those things or how well they follow health codes.
****ing gross.
****ing gross.

Got the 721 built up last night. Just need to rewrap my bars.
Budget wheelset and cranks, they'll be replaced once I get some more money.
Unfortunately the 28c wouldn't fit on the rear, so I had to throw a 25c Thickslick on it. I don't hate it though.
EDIT: how do you make pictures pop up bigger?

Also, why did you put the stickers on the insides of the stays ?

The retro sticker I messed up on. I wanted it on the inside of the chainstay, but should've had it further back so it would still be visible. I just goofed and it's hidden by the tire now.
First build, so I learned a few lessons along the way.
edit: like JamesCraps said, I saw it on a build, I think it may have been one of Scrod's. Thought it looked cool on the chainstay.

^^Had i realized that the "leader" decal was only on the drive side, I probably would have thrown it on the outside of the chainstay on the NDS. That side of the bike looks really plain, but I don't wanna go overboard with stickers.
