Anyone have experience with these frames/bikes? I'm in the market for a bike for TT's, du's, and tri's, and I'm considering one of the frames from online dealer Leader (http://www.leaderbikestore.com/pd_ld_735tt_2005.cfm).

Anyone have experience with these frames?

I've used a Leader road frame in the past. Still have it, as a matter of fact. Nothing wrong with it...well-made, reasonably light, though not the stiffest frame ever. From what I've seen, the people who denigrate them are people who haven't used them.

The best part is, if you wreck your bike, and screw up the frame in the process, you're not out a bundle of cash. Good idea, for racing.
