I haven't posted here in quite a while, but this thread got me excited enough to post. The picture is a little bit old as I broke my front rim (it was a left over rim I threw on) and it has been replaced by a 48 hole chukkar. Oh and btw the way I didnt break it going off some cool ramp or jumping stairs, it got backed into by my neighbors car while it was locked up outside while I ran inside to grab some water....

iminusd is blowing out the 2010 725 for 128 less than the 2011, so some places it is that big of a difference for nicer looking welds and paint.

Just curious, why can I not find a 61cm 725 frame when it's listed in scrod's geo chart?

I don't think they make a 61cm in the new 725. Kinda sucks for us tall folks

Though it did make me feel better about getting the 721 :P

ended up finding a new set of 75s and a 75 chainring....$200 ttl.

got a lot of good parts on the cheaper end....i love ebay.

part list:

Frame:
2010 Leader 722TS - 55cm - black

Fork/Headset:
Leader S805 / Chris King

Crankset/Bottom Bracket:
Sugino 75 / Phil Wood ISO 108

Pedals:
MKS Sylvan w/ All City double clips & Cadence black leather straps

Drivetrain (Cog/Chainring/Chain):
Phil Wood 17t cog / Sugino 75 46t chainring / Izumi Eco (all 1/8")

Handlebars/Stem:
Nitto RB-009 / Thomson X4 90mm

Saddle/Seatpost:
Fizik Arione / Thomson Elite

Brake:
Dura Ace (haven't decided on lever)

Wheels/Hubs/Tires:
Velocity Deep V / Phil Wood / TBA...all black

can't wait to get this built...pics to follow, hopefully sooner than later.

you sure you wanna be rolling on veeps with those other parts?

i hear ya, i was originally going with open pros.

i think that is the only thing i am second guessing...but the velocitys are cool and fine with me. got them a bit cheaper than i could OPs.

lookin good scrod! :thumb:

i see omniums and no foot retention (which i bet is coming soon)

:)

Thanks! Just need to finish up my back wheel, dial in my stem height (and install my clips/straps). Kinda pissed that the ThickSlicks I ordered won't be in my hands until early June but oh well.

I'm really, really stoked about this bike.

Lookin' good Scrod.

I have fork envy.

I first found out these bars exist by seeing them on Retrogression, and I was like "Hmm..."

Now I'm like "Oooo...Hmm..."

Trying to decide on new bars for my 721.

Oh snap...is there a Pedal Consumption x Leader frame on the horizon?

i just saw this! it would be cool to see another road oriented steel frame from leader.

Can this be? Scrodzilla has become a hipster?

What makes you say that?

Think he is referring to the Aerospokz.

I figured. My 725 looks like it eats people and I wouldn't classify it as "hipster" by any stretch. :lol:

Aerospokes aren't hipster if you paid $8 for it. Or whatever it was you paid hah

Do you and girlzilla fight for the spok?

I bet scrod slept on the couch to take that picture. :p

Finally!

I spy black Omniums.

you're late.
