The LV2 looks nice but then the downtube looks abnormally thick for some reason.
Anyways, the 735 vs 725 vs Unknown LV2.
And why you like that one.

hmmm. I somewhat disagree; however, a 725 would be an excellent choice. Or a 721 on sale here (http://www.retro-gression.com/).

OP, didn't you like any of the answers you got here (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php/787571-Recommend-Me-A-Frame-Under-375!) and here (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php/788198-Fake-Leader-735TR-or-No)?
P.S. If you had ordered the 725 from retrogression like many recommended you would probably have it by now.

We need a Mash vs. Kagero vs. Cdale track thread now.
But if you must know my opinion, I like the 725 best of those three.

It's a generic carbon track frame. I've seen that frame under about 3 different names. It should cost around $800 new (give or take).

^But there's a brake. My lower back hurts.
i'm sure i could find some equally ridiculously set up leaders for comparison...
i like the lv2 but for the money i would rather have a chinese carbon biek.
or a chinese carbon bike instead of the set of tires i have to buy for the subaru AAUGGH CARS MAN WHYY

General Altimax HP. I have them on my Tibby, they're amazing for the price.

I like all of them but the new leader 725 is really sick if I was going to get any alu frame that would be it.

I like how the LV2's (and VISP WIndWing's) seat tube cut out follows the shape of the wheel better than the Leader's.

I had Altimax HPs on a FWD and an AWD Volvo. They suck in the snow for FWD but are okay with AWD which his Subaru is.
Also can't help but be skeptical of a shill here as pointed out earlier.
