Leader 735 - White or Black - URGENT

Like the title says... I need your help in deciding on a black Frame or White frame for the Leader 735. Will upgrade parts later on and need to figure out which will end up looking better and lasting longer.

FYI - lately on this forum there hasn't been much goodwill towards Leader.

If I had a choice, I'd go for a purple leader. Then a seafoam one. Then a black one. Then a silver one. Then a white one.

Easily done, considering how often they break and how many warranty claims you'd need to submit.

I always love it when someone posts something so inane as this and then labels it as URGENT.

I would recommend white. White is is easier to inspect for cracks.

Buy one of each. Cut both in half. Weld them together. Ride one black/white bike. Sell other for the most bucks. Profit?

Buy one and paint it the other color using good ole rattlecan technology. It could be black on the outside, white on the inside or vice versa.

Some could say we fall for this troll chit, but I think these troll threads have some of the best humor of the week. So, a x-mas card to all the trolls this year!
