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)

Looks like a wall hanger to me: too beautiful to expose to harsh reality.

Dude is saying this is a 59cm Leader 725tr, and that he's 6'5". I know everyone is built differently, but I'm 6"4" on a 58cm with half that amount of post and similar bars. Also, doesn't Leader do even sizes? To me, that thing just seems too small to be a 59...

I think that could be a 59cm. Leaders have long TT's.

Also, there is a gap between the top tube and down tube at the head tube. For a 725, it seems to me that means that bike has to be pretty big. Scrod's 55cm 725 doesn't have a gap.

Water bottle bosses and a flanged head tube prove that's not a Leader. Also, Leader never made a 59cm 725TR.

So many people try to pass those frames off as Leaders.

They should use it to disassemble that bike and rebuild it the right way.

I hope so. Innuendo that is so subtle that it is nearly undetectable is always the best.
