Haha i have ridden it. Part of the reason for the post was just curiosity?

I love the look of Leader frames,
but in a different thread people told me to avoid them b/c of bad geometry and bad welding, and also ppl say Leader stole the design.. im not sure about the latter

also looks like a Pista Concept..

again im not sure about that, I made a thread asking which are good/cheap frames and people said Leaders are a knock off of something

It can't be a knock-off of anything because Leaders are usually garbage.

you can do better, for the same price. if you don't know how to, or disagree, then get a Leader - you're their ideal customer. :thumb:

Omg, people what are you guys talkin bout?
Their steel or aluminum frame??
Cuz I have FIRST HAND experience with their 722 steel frame and it's awesome!
The beautiful hydro formed jap tubing, modern specs, no toe overlap!
I've had great customer service as well.
I also like that Leader sponsors riders who ride their bikes and give them feedback.
Some of these riders are well respected fixed gear riders who have been riding fixed and riding leaders
before it was fad.

they are not very high quality and are generally marketed towards people who are like "OMG AERO TUBING FOR CHEAP = SWEET FIXIE BRO"
