I was thinking of selling Alpina and the nashbar and just buying one of the Leaders so I can have a fork drilled for a brake and also have the more aggressive rake.

(*also, do you stock the I805 [if you think that is a better option]? Didn't see it on your site)

Thanks dude.
The 2015 I805 fork has a tapered steerer and is only available when you but a 725 or 735 frameset (which we no longer carry because the new integrated seatpost clamp is prone to cracking). The I803 fork is good for the money and a lot more sleek that Leader's previous carbon forks.

Correction: I noticed the I805 for sale separately on Leader's site but it won't work on any frame having a standard 1 1/8" head tube.
