scrod, whats the weight difference between the s803 and s805? the s805 is sold out everywhere.

Not sure about the weight difference but I know Leader will have more S805s in stock very soon.

There's a white S805 on eBay right now, but I think it's a scratch & dent.

That's a different fork entirely with an aluminum steerer.

i'm not sure about how much shipping is from here though, that might be an issue.

Dang, the going rate around here was $700 last I heard.

+1 for 722ts, i just got a new frame and it looks great. one of my friends also just got a brand new pake frame and it's also a good quality looking frame. light too.

actually -1 for 722ts. (i like that it's not too common yet haha)

seriously? no one seconding the Wabi Classic with its 725 Reynolds tubeset and 350 price tag?

I'll second that. That's a killer deal.

avner 12-13-10 04:42 PM

Also, it includes a headset, thats a ballerific deal which makes me wish I could ditch my leader...and get a Wabi Lightning...

I'm 90% sure my next bike is going to be a wabi. After looking over the website with the knowledge I have now, seeing their parts, and their bikes. I'm convinced its worth it to buy locally. That frame is smoking hot.

My next bike is going to be aluminium.

yummygooey 12-13-10 04:51 PM

Wow, the Wabi seems like quite the deal. Leader/Wabi/IRO... which one?!

I've never ridden an aluminum bike, but I like the durability of steel. Steel feels real, dawg. I'd give aluminum a chance if I came by a good deal, though.

Squirrelli 12-13-10 05:00 PM

Value wise, I think Wabi takes the cake, then Leader/IRO is tied for me.

Moto Team Track is always a good deal. :P

Mine too. :innocent:

avner 12-13-10 05:06 PM

mine too. Weather that ends up as a wabi lightning or leader now just is only pending on financial aid. Aka bike money.

Squirrelli 12-13-10 05:15 PM

*cough cough* :innocent:

For complete aluminium bike, Moto Team Track is excellent. It'd definitely be my "next" bike.
