Hi there! This is just a question regarding the leader 725TR track frame and an item i recently found on ebay. Seeing as a huge percentage of factory frame production comes out of China or Taiwan, I feel like I may have found a great little OEM steal. I want to ask some of the builders here if they see any big differences between the two with welding, construction, etc since the both look pretty dang similar to me. Here are the links and thanks a million!!

i don't build bikes....but those welds look nasty!!! for that price you could buy a very nice vintage steel frame....

Check the shipping price on the ebay frame. Not such a good deal anymore...
