Anyone commuting on a Leader Trick Star?

I really have no interest in tricking but I do have an interest in really strong frames.. the bike is advertised as having "trick track" geometry but would it make a good heavy duty city bike for everyday riding?

If you're looking for a commuter, that frame is really just silly. If you need something really durable, get a cross frame. But frankly, even if you're really abusive, most any decent frame out there now should do the job if you stay away from carbon forks and the like. I'd worry more about the wheels.

Yeah I figured as much, I just have the build bug and have been window shopping for potential frames for my next project. The only time I have had frame failures was being 8 years old on a Huffy that split a weld and getting my Panasonic wrapped around a car in a hit and run
