Leader Bike Frame style info
I have been looking at these Leader Bike Frames from a post from yesterday. Just wondering what type of ride or frame the 736R would give on its design. I really like its look. I also like the styles of several others. Any info would be helpful. https://www.leaderbikeusa.com/products/frames/frames.htm
Thanks

Not sure what you are asking...
I am building up a TT bike from their frame, but do not have enough miles on it to give a review, and will not have any other TT bike experience to compare it to.
Seems like a decent frame for the money. Has gotten good reviews on Roadbikereview. My LBS said they have worked on a couple of Leader frames, and the owners have been "serious riders" who have liked the frames...

Besides the quality of Leader. I was wondering about the style of the 736R. Just wondering about the style is it a race design. I know its defiently not a traditional frame.

Hmm, seems like a traditional frame to me, at least based on the geometry. What do you mean?
I'm thinking of getting one to slowly build up. My guess is it'll be a stiff, responsive frame from their marketing but I'm not sure. I'll probably wait on buying it till I see some more angles of the frame as well as some reviews. I plan on giving them a call and asking about sizing and frame characteristics some time in the future. If anything useful comes out of the discussion, I'll post.

I did not think the LD736R was a traditional frame. Perhaps the geometery is I guess the tube design was what got me wondering. I would like to know more if you find out any info. What reviews I have read has been good. I think since I am on the heavy side perhaps a stiff frame would be best for me.

I really like the color and shape of the frame myself. And for the cost, I really can't find anything comparable. (I'd like an Isaac Pascal but too much $$) But I'm doing my research now to see if I see any frames I like better that are similar in cost (~$500 w/ fork & headset).

Here is the link to frame I think looks nice. I just like the design of the tubing. What do you all think of this. Any comments on this frame.

One thing I noticed on their website they talk about being a USA company and they have USA on their bikes however I have not read anywere stating that they are made in the USA. Probably a great frame for the money
