Well it's really preference, but Leader 722 does come in both a "lo" and regular --- 722 Heritage - Frames - Shop | Leader Bike LLC and 722 Heritage Lo - Frames - Shop | Leader Bike LLC --- the 722 lo is way cheaper than the kageoro. Also, check out the thread "Leader Love" ( http://www.bikeforums.net/singlespee...er-love-8.html )

But you'll probably want to test-ride whatever bike you get. Even if your local bike shop doesn't have the exact bike, sometimes they'll have something in "similar geometry" that you can test ride. This is how I settled on my 722. I'm only stressing this because lo pro geometry isn't for everyone. I had an old khs flite 100 with aggressive geo that my brother gave to me and I hated riding it on the streets because of too much toe overlap and feeling cramped - but that's just me - i like the feeling of having more space.

All of this is to say, try test-riding "pursuit geometry" first, and this will help you narrow your choices one way or the other. bike shopping is fun but also work.
