Frame looks pretty awesome, especially the logo. Do they sell a matching aero seatpost, I think that would make the whole bike look a lot nicer.

yeah i heard aluminum is 1000 times less strong than steel. I heard of a guy who picked up his bike and it crumbled like a statue cause it was aluminum.

Great service from the guys at Leader. Spoke to them on the phone about a few questions I had before I ordered and they answered the phone or called me back pretty quickly. Ordered it last week and it came within a few days or so. Packaging was solid and well wrapped. Bike looks great, rides even greater. I got the '09 735 in black on a set of Deep Vs I already owned. Was a pleasure doing business with them. Been lotsa fun so far.

Damn, if it was stainless steel or steel I would order the frame straight away. But there it ie detactable right? I could also tell me Local Fabricator to machine a new dropout for cheap

Does anybody know of an update to these new frames?

is it just me or do the leader frames seem to have long-ish top tubes? and AaronC, what size frame is that? do post some pics when you're done with the build, i'm looking to build up a leader frame.

i think that frame would look hot if it was brushed aluminum with a clearcoat, but they should definitely offer that frame in silver also

My only gripe style wise is the point on the head tube...but I can see the idea behind it. I wonder what the aerodynamic gain is in actual numbers

The aero headtube and monstrous bolt-on track ends are dealbreakers.

I've only had my 2008 for 3 months, and they already have the white ones out. Great.

Also, is the seatpost hardware any better? Mine creaks.
