guh, this thread is going to suck.

in before brakeless discussions, steel is real discussions, and hipster street cred discussions.

not only are you vague about what exactly you heard about why leaders are bad, you also give us useless information(your gear ratio on your hour) while omitting the most pertinent information, like what surfaces you ride what your budget is what wheels you like and what you'll use the bike for, like racing or commuting or longer rides.


honestly i'd get the bareknuckle but that's because i don't like leaders. if i wanted aluminum i'd get a mash.
