Leaders are pretty slack and brag about the lack of toe overlap. BK's are overpriced TIG'd 4130 frames. You can find better with the price ranges, or find something cheaper and almost identical. Mission Bicycles are like a 1/4 of the price of a BK but closely resemble them. Same steel, same geo.

um the bareknuckles were Dedacciai COM 12.5 oversize double-butted Cro-Moly tubing whereas the mission bikes are 4130.
from mission's site:
Materials
To increase the strength to weight ratio, our hand-welded frames are made from double-butted 4130 chromoly tubing. This means that tube walls are thinner in the middle and thicker at the ends where added strength increases durability and stiffness.
