frame suggestions?
#27
I've looked around, and independently regardless of a lot of peoples opinions on leader the 722TS has received spectacular reviews. I suppose this is do to Scrod being a shill but I may not be correct on this.
Pake has also gotten a lot of love regarding their frame.
Personally I'd suggest also taking a looksi at this which I think is going to give you some absolutely AMAZING bang to buck ratio. Not sure why no one has suggested it yet. It's in line with the prices of what you're looking at and frankly it's some beautiful effing steel. They also have a couple other framesets available within your price range you could look into.

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

That adds up to the exact top of his budget but the I806 fork looks a little wonky when not used on a frame with an internal headset (IMO) because of the large fork crown. If you want a carbon fork on that frame, you'd be better off with the S805.

+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)

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.

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.
