More info:

Track geometry with high BB drop. Thicker tube sets with butting only where it needs to be to keep the bike extremely strong. MTB style welds to keep your bike in one pc. Stainless steel dropouts so you can make wheel removal easy. Longer and wider rear end for better tire clearance. No bottle cage holes. No brake guides. Yes rear brake bridge for caliper. Beautiful aero seat tube. Strong easy to use aero seat clamp system. Max tire size 28 x 700c tire.

What's with the blatant ad posting?

I was promised a replacement 721TR in early December for my current one that I have with the track ends that are too short.

they were all like that....

"Longer and wider rear end for better tire clearance".... <--- there was a whole thread practically dedicated to this topic.

What happened?

farts

well aware...

so u expect them to give u a new model for your troubles?...

i think it speaks for itself how the design of their frames have changed almost every year.

yup :thumb:

good luck

I just saw this on their website and was hoping to see how people felt about it, but i guess not...

Personally i got excited(love the look of aero frames) but i am wary about leader's history

Howcum this gets removed, when there's a gazillion Bikesdirect threads?

It was removed by LeaderBikes. Maybe he doesn't feel like dealing with the fallout from the 721 track fork end debacle.

There was a debacle on BFSSFG? And I missed it?!? Damn.

Look at how tight the rear clearance is, then look at how far into the track fork end the wheel is. Yeah...

There was another thread with people complaining about/discussing this issue, but I can't find it.

It would be nice if we had a color chart for the 725tr,I went to the site and it had a list of all the colors but no pics. This is from the site.

If you click on the color option, it shows a sample of the color in the shape of the frame (I had the same thought).

Oh...OK that makes sense,Thanks.

Yeah, no prob, I'm trying to decide on red or green.

I think Im gonna get it in white with no decals,hit up Price Point for a white stem/bars/post/seat/tires/wrap,and get some white Vee's with whit formula hubs. All whited out,as opposed to my all blacked out ride now.

funny. so they fixed the dropouts i guess... *goes to search for the 721 thread*

I think they should have stuck with the original 31:
* Banana Nut Fudge
* Black Walnut
* Burgundy Cherry
* Butterscotch Ribbon
* Cherry Macaroon
* Chocolate
* Chocolate Almond
* Chocolate Chip
* Chocolate Fudge
* Chocolate Mint
* Chocolate Ribbon
* Coffee
* Coffee Candy
* Date Nut
* Egg Nog
* French Vanilla
* Green Mint Stick
* Lemon Crisp
* Lemon Custard
* Lemon Sherbet
* Maple Nut
* Orange Sherbet
* Peach
* Peppermint Fudge Ribbon
* Peppermint Stick
* Pineapple Sherbet
* Raspberry Sherbet
* Rocky Road
* Strawberry
* Vanilla
* Vanilla Burnt Almond

Also, all white = ghost bike = don't mess with ghosts.

Yeah last thing I want is for my bike to be covered in candles and flowers when I come out from class haha

Can I have free frame?

* Cherry Macaroon


I'll drink to that.

Howcum this gets removed, when there's a gazillion Bikesdirect threads?

Because this thread doesn't follow the right format. It should have been something like,

"Hey guys, anyone know anything about Leader frames? I've been looking for a new bike and these seem so perfect for what I need. High quality aluminum with double butted tubing, it sure seems like this is the best bike on the market. They're also going for such a good price that at this price point they can't be beat."

Then apparently you can spam the forums to your heart's content

All those colors and no decent orange? Bah!

can't find the new frames on their site. Can someone link to it for me?

http://www.leaderbikestore.com/pd-ld-721tr.cfm

I'm tempted to get a pink one w/ black logos and black AL fork but will probably wait and try to snag a decent used FTP or something instead.

Why was iansmash's post deleted? I certainly hope it wasn't at the request of LeaderBikes, as it would be extraordinarily bad form to delete posts questioning serious issues with a manufacturer's products at the manufacturer's request.

Please explain.

I know they have had problems in the past but it seems like once you found a problem with your frame, you should just return it. I love the look of their frames and will probably buy one of the new ones, but then again my only experience is with a Kilo, so I guess that makes me no expert. Personally I just like the workout I get from my fixed gear, and being that I don't have a velodrome near me, neither do a lot of other people, I ride my fixed purely for the look and the work out it provides rather than the performance factor.

I think 200 for a nice looking frame that you can get in lots of colors isn't a bad deal, just because they had some bad frames in the past doesn't mean they won't fix the issue. and if they don't I'll return the frame. Sure they have a high restocking fee, but thats because they are providing a custom product. I don't see why everyone is so upset about a new frame lol.

it's bikeforums, what do you expect?

Please go back to first page for more info on 725TR

sir, your bike frame is made of polygons!

might i also add it really isn't that bad a thing to see shills here, we are the consumers after all.

what color do you guys think i should get to make it look most like a pista concept?!?!?!


jk

gorilla.

you should be able to get a color matched fork :-(

leaders are sh*t!

Maybe you should look up the word shill in a dictionary.

notice how there aren't any real pictures of frames, leader is probably seeing how many preorders they get and if they don't get enough won't make the frame.

"CONCEPT GREEN" obviously

notice how there aren't any real pictures of frames, leader is probably seeing how many preorders they get and if they don't get enough won't make the frame.

No, they just need the preorders to offer all the custom color choices without the risk of seriously overstocking unsellable colors. After these are in, I doubt all the colors will be available.

they should just call this frame the 725tarck

If anyone has any questions please PM me or contact Leader tel 619 425 6452. Remember the last date we can take your custom order is December 8. After this date the frames will only be offered in the standard production run.

not so sure how confident I'd be buying from them if they won't address the concerns on a message board, but rather push harder for you to order them?

Maybe you should look up the word shill in a dictionary.

like there could be any mistaking that this guy could work for leader....

this is the best way to learn what the customer wants.

good luck with these new frames, i personally don't like these aluminum pista frames.

"CONCEPT GREEN" obviously
well that was my first thought but if you click it that color really doesn't look like the bianchi color at all

anyhow i really like these but am holding off no ordering cause leader PMed me and said the color-matching fork might be a possibility in the near future

Looks nice. Is it replacing the 735?

Looks nice. Is it replacing the 735?Thank you, 735TR is current for 2009/10 and will continue to be sold. All other models are current too. HMT, 721TR, 720TR, 781R, and 737R. All these frames can be built up as single speed. We just got alot of interest in a mid range aero frame.

whats the ship date?

whats the ship date?
all frames will ship end of January. We will do our best to ship them sooner.
