Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Any Leopard Cycles owners?

I just picked up the Outside Magazine 2006 Buyer's guide and saw that one of their picks was the Leopard CL1. I had never even heard of this company till today and was wondering if there were any bf members that has had any experience with these bikes? I checked out their website and thought it was kinda neat that the paint colors are a configurable option when you order the bike...

I don't own one, but a couple of people in my club have them. They look really nice. Performance is comparable to other Taiwanese carbon bikes in the same price range (Giant, Specialized, etc.).

I've got one, two actually, but am in need to get rid of them unfortunately.
They're great rides. Nothing wrong with them as far as I can tell.
Owner's a great guy, top quality work as far as I'm concerned, beautiful paint jobs in Santa Cruz, and I hear they even have a good connection with some factories.
I know, I know, I'm a little late, but hope this helps.

6 1/2 years late!

Mods - is it possible to put an auto-lock on threads that are this dead so we don't keep getting necroposts like this?

Lighten up, Francis. What if I came here tomorrow inquiring about the quality of Leopard bikes?

I'd be happy to see the necrophiliacs opinion, to be sure.

OP may have been a shill but if he's getting play 6+ years later he deserves...something.

Some old threads deserve the lock, some are kind of cool when they unexpectedly resurrect.

This one probably should have had its mouth sewn shut full of salt.

Locked (if anyone wants to continue this thread PM me or another mod and it can be re-opened).
