Those Leader bikes are so ugly. I'm always talking people out of buying those damn things.

"Aren't I great?!"

I think the 2008 735TR are starting to grow on me. Of course the decals are hideously large, but other than that I wouldn't mind having one. The 720TR on the other hand is indeed fugly.

the decals are large, and under the clear coat. so yeah.....

Sell it to me.


You are quickly becoming one of the most annoying posters here.

most dull-witted too^

Nana nana nana nana LEADER!!!

edit - Why weren't you at bike polo today mike?

My New (to me) 1982 Sun Solo

Was originally a 10 speed, and I removed all the multi speed parts, and respaced the wheel, and it rides like a dream.

Fixed gear is more addictive than you think :)

That which we call a Leader, by any other name would look as horrible.

Tell whoever that is that riding a bike with eyes closed is uber safe.

the 735's look decent in my opinion. they should make one in creamcicle orange, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

more horrible photography of my bikes. put this together this afternoon.

I'm trackstanding.

Ooh, creamsicle orange and white would look really good.

What gear is that?

Hmm...that leader looks proportionate at least...most of the other bikes just dont look right geometrically...

But yes...Sight might be a good idea seeing as you dont have breaks or a helmet

50 x 18. The Zen rings tend to give the illusion of being larger than they are given the solid sides.

Thriller: Unless it's fixed gear (you said it was only SS) then I would leave the rear brake on. But it's your neck.

Woah, has that got track dropouts? With rear brake cable guides and bottle cage holes. Interesting. Very interesting. I'm pretty jealous!

Here's some links from the Serotta forum for a cool story on some guy getting a Nagasawa frame made and having dinner with the man himself:

Check out Nagasawa's signature:

Oh, and beautiful Vivalo too!!! Really, really nice!!

I love it! I have respect for a guy who signs like that. Does he sign that way ALL the time?

I wish my signature could grow a mustache....

My new conversion is all done:

fixed?

Single for now, but I'm picking up a fixed cog this week and losing the rear brake. The rear is a pain in the ass anyways with the eccentric hub.

Looks like 26" wheels on that ORBEA.
