This may be a stupid question... but for all of the more intelligent and aware posters in here, what are the notable spec differences between the 725 and the 735?

haw haw.

bigger more aero toobz.

The smallest (seat tube) size available for the 725 is 46cm, whereas it is 51cm for the 735. At least that is what I am seeing on the RG website. Either way, both new framesets are fuggly. I'm sure glad I got my 721 when I did.

the 722 heritage looks rad

is that the new one for this year?

i'm not sure which year that is. it's not mine i just like them. it looks like the heritage for 14' only comes in a black and a lilac color way so i'm thinking it's an older year

That's the way it's been for the last two years.

There is no new one for this year (yet).

Yup, all around. The seat stays and chain stays are also flatter/bigger.

I read where you were talking about the 722 coming out later this year, hopefully.
I've been lusting over them for a while, I've got my 721 the way I like it, and I want a steel bike now.

Might pull the trigger on the new one when it drops. Depends on colors.

Thanks for the prompt responses guys. Much appreciated.

I think the 2015 735 looks pretty secksee, but that's just me. :p

Leader love.

New wheels to come soon.

So nice!

Gracias.

Was considering older 725 frame (without decals), but now that the new improvements are there with the 2015 model, I am definitely finally going for the new 725. Just trying to decide what color. The bold colors are so nice (especially the purple) but I think I have landed on matte black. I am super excited as this will be by first custom build. Been riding for years but never spent the cash above just a stock bikes with minor upgrades. My plan is matte black with a little gloss black and a touch of chrome/steel. Definitely going with omnium crank. Would love to see more photos of anyone's finished builds.

Good move with the 2015, one of the best to come. You can't go wrong with matte black either although this is the go to "can't go wrong with" color of a lot of leader owners.

Currently building up my 2015 matte black 725, waiting on parts. Hopefully I'll pick up my wheels friday. Pics to come.

Wondering if anyone has advice from experience with the 725 frame sizes. The geometry available online is limited. I am 5'9" and currently riding a fyxation east side 52cm with the measurements below. Josh from Leader suggested the 51cm was the closest geometry, but that seems small to me..? Any shop owners out there....?:

Josh knows what he's talking about. If you still doubt him for some weird reason, compare the top tube length of the frame you are riding now (assuming your bike fits you) to that of the 51cm Leader.

Because Leader's frames are typically long and low, it's pretty common to seemingly "size down".

Thank you. This helps immensely. I'm sure 51cm is the correct size for me.

Dam I just ordered my 735, I'm 511. Size 13 shoe so I have long arms. Shorter legs. I ordered a 55cm. Think maybe I went too big?? My lbs Said they don't do sizing =/ a$$h@les

i think youll be fine, considering im 5'10" with short legs and happily ride a 58 722 with basically the same geo

Cool that's a relief.
