Yea i actually just saw a thread about these, heard of them for the first time.
Could only find their site. Who sells them? No dealers, only Wabi?

Are they really that much better?
Can't find much about them.

I know nothing of Leader, only that I see a lot of pictures of them. However, a quick search lead me to see a lot of threads talking them down, saying how unreliable they are, how they're garbage, but haven't seen much detail as to exactly why they are not that good.

Seems so far like my choices are Big Block or the Kilo stripped frame. For ~$200 for frame+fork is pretty good.
