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 bikes are famoous for little to no toe overlap.

Check out the all new V1.5 729TRK.

i'm looking for something more on the cheap side, if the "something better" is at the 722s price, then i think not hah but i will wait to get surprised

The new 722ts frames look amazing. But what is with the relaxed head angles.

I have reason to belive that i may have a 725 v2 under the tree? I have a chance to get this headset https://www.universalcycles.com/shopp...s.php?id=31081 so im wondering if this would work? Seems like it would but i want to be sure. Thanks in advance!

There are no economic solution for a pursuit track frame.
If you were to make a pursuit frame, you would be the only solution.
All pursuit frames at 700+
I'd love to see a leader pursuit style track frame.

Me too! I personally prefer curved tubes like this vVv over the straight 1s like Affinity but, I'd take that too.

Was actually wondering about this same 722 frame in blue, and came across this thread / post after a search. Yours is the first complete build I've seen and it looks GLORIOUS (though I'm not much of a fan of risers. The first picture is the one that did it for me). Might have sold me on getting one, as opposed to the 725 I'd been jonesing for.

Although who knows... if a blue 725 comes into production I might be jumping on it. When's the next batch coming out? Spring?

not sure this is possible but i think pursuit geometry with slight positive rake and and tight geometry, but with a steel brazzed and lugged frame would be my dream bike... i like how the affinity lo pro stance is with its tight geometry etc.. but at the same time.. i'm in love with brazzed lugs and classic style seat stays of many njs frames...

dope.. because lugged steel in tight aggressive geometry is soo sexy... i've been looking into picking up a used njs frame recently.. i just haven't been able to find one recently in my size online... if leader offered one, i'd probably pounce on it...

I know this thread is over a decade old...but i just built up a 722TS frame, white with the chrome fork, and it is BEAUTIFUL! Got it from a friend who had it sitting in his garage for years, barely ridden and in excellent condition except for a few scuffs in the paint from storage. Not totally complete with the build, just waiting to pick up some shiny silver wheels from a friend and it'll be done! it is GORGEOUS, and rides like a dream. Can't wait to put some miles on it. This whole thread has been super helpful in identifying the manufacturing specs, could barely find any info elsewhere! 10 years later, and this frame is still a stunner. Good job LeaderBike !


Im a new user so it won't let me post any pictures yet

Normally we frown on posting in zombie threads, but in this case it is quite justifiable. As soon as you have enough posts, by all means post photos of your bike. I suggest that you post it in this thread >>> https://www.bikeforums.net/singlespe...ar-thread.html

Also, there is this Leader specific thread >>> https://www.bikeforums.net/singlespe...ader-love.html

Welcome to SSFG !
