Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

how about you post a picture of the bike so we can answer your question, or check with Leader, who'd definitely know what size fork you need.

I think this must be the nearest to a 715R and must be the revised version.
