Leader doesn't have a great reputation around here due to widespread quality control issues with a recent run of frames. The fact that their website's shop section still lists frames as "Coming Soon" doesn't bode well.
Thank you for the only useful answer, I heard of this problem and that's what made me quite insecure about the whole thing but I thought the problems were mainly with the 725 frame, do you have an alternative in that price range? you can get the Matero for around 300$ (wich is quite cheap?!!??!?) I think all together I could spend 1000
€ on my bike, so a frame for 500???
obviously the more you pay the better the quality should get, but I don't want to buy a 500
€ frame from Leader just to realise that I could have gotten a better one for the same price.
I need people with expierence who could answer my questions, how does the ride feel? is it a hassle?
Thank you
@veganbikes I have totally changed my mind because of your awesome argumentation!
no but for real, you are entitled to your own opinion, I do like the aero look and you don't. unfortunately you just ignored my original answer. Do you think a brakeless carbon bike would be better on a potholedthen?
Correct me if I'm wrong but the world can not get rid of carbon fibre, it might be a very good material, but I cannot support something that is useless after you shred it and that is not possible to recycle (yet). That's why I don't want carbon.
Set a budget, and buy the best thing you can buy on that budget. Knowing what I know now, I probably won't buy a full bike again but would get a frame/fork and build from there using quality parts.
And ride with a brake and stop worrying about the skidz. Skidding just wears your rear tire out faster and looks like you are trying to star in a Macaframa movie.
I have set a budget, and until now I just want to choose a good frame.
thanks but I know what the skids do.
I already have a bike with brakes, it's for something completly different.
But I don't want to leave my expensive bike in a neighbourhood wich I don't know, you get me?
That's why I thought get a bike without brakes, without gears...
a frame, a fork, handlebars, wheels and pedals is all I need
