I'll be building up my bike with the same frame as yours with the leader carbon fork, cane creek brakes and headset, Thompson seatpost and a Campy Chorus groupo.
What size is your frame?
Thanks
Thanks. the frame is 50cm I think. top tube is about 55cm. It's bigger than my 54cm Giant. the fork is the Nashbar carbon cross fork. After riding my roadie in the rain, I really wanted disc brakes. The bike rides great, but I'm guessing that's probably because of the fatter tiress. All the little bumps in the road are gone and I'm not afraid of very little piece of glass or rock. I used to get a lot of flats on my tregular route, even with gator skins.
What I did learn is do not go cheap on headsets, if I can turn back time, I'd spend a lot more than $25. Oh well, and another thing that got me was the fact that it's so much taller. When I put my Giant next to the Leader, the leader is a good 2 inches higher.
