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)

Awesome, I'll order my TR720 this week. Should I just make a note during checkout?

Also, I'm going to repaint the frame, other than sanding down the paint, are there any other special prep things? I know with some aluminum frames if you sand down to the metal, the primer won't stick. Anything I should watch out for?

I kind of wish I would have waited a few more months before buying a new frame. You guys have some nice looking frames now.

Are there any differences from the 2009 Leader 725TR's and the 2010's, as in geometry or other things besides color?

What the hell? The ghosted Leader lettering on the black gun metal paint was sexy as hell! Bring it back!

Geometry is the same except we increased the wheelbase a bit to fit larger tires on the frame. Many asked us to make the cutout conform better on a 700 x 28 tire. We made the aluminum thicker to avoid dings. made the seat clamp better and stronger with a more urban look. Paint has been improved with two extra coats of clear. Harder to chip.
