I'm looking for a good value in a aluminum frame with carbon seatstays and a carbon fork, maybe even carbon chainstays. The Leader LD-780R at $399 looks like good bang-for-the-buck. I'm not too concerned if it's a lesser known maker, as long as the tubesets are good (7005 or better), welds are strong, and geometry is decent. Anyone riding the Leader 780R or 785R, or have any other suggestions?
