Exposure: 0.005 sec (1/200)
Aperture: f/2.8
Focal Length: 140 mm
dual flash, one on camera, one off
the ultremos have been great to me so far. i have never gotten a flat with them but have found quite a few pieces of glass in them. none have them have made it through. they are ridiculously light, roll very fast and have good cornering grip.

pretty obviously not folding, just weird. hecka weird.
fast glass and off camera flash ftw. off camera flash is to the right, right?
god today is so nice. i took some more pictures and unfortunately my only fast glass is a 17-50 and i don't ever setup my flashes. someday i'll try to get a picture as pretty as that one.
until then i'll just pretend:

Only a Brooks saddle should be "Honey" colored. IMO.

it's a samba, i needed brown!
Thanks though
the saddle's probably the worst part on the bike in terms of effective quality. below the ebay dp18's even. the seams and craftsmanship are great but it's not comfortable at all unless i'm seated on it exactly right, or without my zoic chamois on. i may flip the stem up too, the bars are too aggressive. that said, i'm keeping the saddle and wearing chamois, then keeping the bike how it is. every time i tinker with it i create new problems. maybe i should go back to the thompson stem road drops and velo SLR saddle...

****. Leader bikes don't seem to be so bad, but everybody who owns one somehow makes them look horrible 99% of the time. I've seriously seen one leader that didnt have a ****ty ugly color scheme, stupid mismatched wheelset or strange proportions.
Can someone explain to me why they all look like ass?

I think its becuase the frames are small like around 50cm. The downtube is so fat which makes it way to close to the top tube...no?
Edit: And also becuase the seats a little low? The longness of it bothers me.

I think it's just mainly people on Bikeforums who have a bone to pick with them. Everyone in person likes my bike. The 54 cm top tube on a 51 cm frame suits me well. I even had to put a 130 mm stem on there. It's also one of the lightest frames i've seen out there available for the price. Say what you want.

Still kicking.

I'd ditch the 4 spoke carbon wheel and get a wheel that matched the rear and it would be nice.
