Worth buying?
 
So a friend of a friend is offering me a Leader 725TR frame, with a new FSA Zs-3 carbon headset, Specialized FACT carbon fork, plus a random rear wheel with cog for $200. I've done a lot of work on older road bikes and such but I'm not too knowledgeable about new stuff, especially whether or not the carbon fork is going to be good for riding fixed.

Here's a pic, it doesn't come with the chain ring/crank/BB.

Might as well as long as it fits you. The carbon fork will be fine for riding fixed, since carbon forks are totally awesome.

If it fits, I would jump on that given you have the money. Seems like a really good deal to me.

Thanks guys! Frame is 51cm and I'm 5'6" so it's about right.
