Well I am going to order a leader frame and now need to get my other parts. Can anyone give me advice to which parts i should get.
This would be the Frame:
https://www.leaderbikestore.com/pd-ld.cfm

Here is what i think need:
BB
Fork
headset
Crankset
Stem
and handle bars

And i dont noe any of the sizes for any of this so I really need some help.

If possible i would like to spend a max of 300 dollars on all these things not including frame or anything i didnt mention.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I converted an old road bike but basically now i want an upgrade

If you actually look at the link you posted it lists all the sizes for the components the frame takes. I don't know if you have this stuff from your conversion, but you'll also need wheels, tires, tubes, cog, lockring, chain, seatpost, saddle, arrospok, top tube pad, shants, mess bag, and a case of PBR.

If you're trying to keep it under $300 try eBay, nashbar.com, craigslist, chucksbikes, or harris cyclery. Definitely doable for the parts you listed as long as you're not hankerin' for DA or campy or something.

Did you get the girls jeans yet?

i just want to say that if you have to ask those questions, then you should not be buying a high grade TRACK RACING frame like that leader. I am not trying to be insulting, but it's like saying, "oh man, I rode this cow one time, I think I will go ride bulls for a living on the pro circuit...hey, what kind chaps do i need?"

Did they add the word "noe" to the dictionary yet? Leader frames are high grade now? Really?

is that the frame with the geometry flaw?

jquinaz

Now I see all the sizes i need, but was also wondering if there are any good cheap brands to look out for.

And yea I already have wheels.

iansmash

Yes it is the frame with the geometry flaw

Here is what i found, can anyone double check to see if it will work.

BB: https://bikeisland.com/cgi-bin/BKTK_S...ils&ProdID=804

BB and CrankSEt: https://bikeisland.com/cgi-bin/BKTK_S...ls&ProdID=1112 if i take off the other cogs on the crank set.

and would the stuff at iro work for my Seatpost, Handle Bar, Headset, and stem

I would still need a fork though.

patrickviolence

leaders have intergrated headsets. so get one from the leader site.

jquinaz

Ok so 50 dollars for the headset, do you know which fork i can use or does it have to be from the leader site.

iansmash

no, the Leader 721TR uses a zero stack headset


it's different


I recommend the Cane Creek ZS22

jquinaz

So this this for the headset https://www.ebikestop.com/cane_creek_...ver-HD2292.php

iansmash

that should work...i can't find mine on the internet which is weird...picked it up at LBS for around $50 I think...I don't remember now...

This is what it looks like

jquinaz

would the stuff from iro that i have selected work.

You are an imbecile, it's a bike. It's not as if just cause its a "track" frame it's going to throw him from the saddle without warning if he hasnt ridden one before, and not knowing how to build a bike doesnt make you unworthy of riding it. Do you know how to build up an indexed road group and adjust derailluers and build and true wheels? If you answered no, you better not ride spoked wheels or geared bikes, kind of like going from a go cart to a Ferrari...

frankstoneline

the seatpost, stem and bars should, though you can get similar bars cheaper out of a box of parts at a local shop probably. Just order the FSA headset leader suggests with the frame, price difference is minimal.

jquinaz

Thanks, for all the info and for backing me up.

Another question would be if i could use that crank set with BB from bike island to work on the Leader. I think i can because of the fact that it is basically the same thing i did with my other fixed gear but not too sure. It would save me some money short hand if it worked.

frankstoneline

that is a road crankset, but you could use it yes, it will fit in the bottom bracket.

jquinaz

So i think im going to get that crankset its only 40 dollars. And then when the time comes i will replace it. So now the only thing i need is a fork. Any Suggestions? I dont know if i should go for carbon or aluminum. Im leaning more toward aluminum but the only thing about that is the fact that i cant find one online for a good price.

clink83

I would get a steel or carbon fork if I was you. A ****ty leader Al frame with AL fork=rattle your fillings out.
If you haven't got rims yet, I would suggest getting 650c rims and a 650c fork(if you can) since that frame wont fit a 700c rim correctly.

jquinaz

Would this fork work with the frame
