In true Leader "shooting-myself-in-the-foot" fashion, they stopped making the 721 last year.

If you're looking for something with aero-style tubing and more traditional geometry, don't rule out the Aventon Mataro because of some **** you've previously seen me say on the internet. Their frames have improved a great deal over the past couple of years and are very good for the price.
Dave you know very well this was isolated and unfortunately yours were shipped early because you are local, to you with some parts missing. Since then we have not had any issues. We did take care of the handful of customers who you sold a Leader to with the correct parts in the seat clamp and they are quite pleased. We have sold many of these frames with no issues at all. Lets not make this personal.
