I prefer the 725 myself, bought that bike off of my sisters fiancé. Did a couple things here and there.

I agree, that's the first 727 I've actually not been repulsed with. Nice!

Great job on the 727 it looks great.

It's basically all Miche. Wheels, hubs, seatpost, chain, chainring, cog, and bb.

Clean bike Bighec.

Got this back from the paint shop last week but believe it or not, I've been more concerned with riding it than taking pictures.

I snapped a couple of quick ones with my phone on today's ride:

Metallic silver > murdered-out.

Murdered-out bikes are definitely cool but it just wasn't my style. Now my bike is unique.

get a downtube sticker in the font of "cannondale" but that says "leaderbike"

If you chose rasta :p

I love it.

What up with dat bar angle?

Scrodzilla 05-30-11 07:34 PM

Those Deda Lowriders are actually meant to be angled down just a bit due to the way the tops and bends are flattened at an angle (you can kinds see it in the pic). If you rode with them, you'd definitely see why. When they're level, it puts your wrists in a weird, unnatural position when riding on the tops.

Also, I tried running them level for a bit and climbing when out of the saddle is much better with them tipped forward.

longjohns 05-30-11 07:43 PM

looks great scrod. are you gonna throw some leader stickers on it? i think it would look great with a little branding on it.

Scrodzilla 05-30-11 07:46 PM

I've got a nice black & chrome headbadge (like the ones on the V2) but I think that's all she'll get.

Turned out real nice... definitely makes the smoother welds look a lot better! How long did it take?

Scrod, just felt like letting you know, Leader's Facebook has your bike up on it.

Thanks Alex! I have no idea how long it took...all I did was drop it off and pick it up. :D

God all these pics are making me excited for my Leader build. Can't wait to have it all finished up. Getting tons of great Ideas from you guys and gals.

some people have said its just bondo on the welds, I was hoping you might be able to disprove that with having had it repainted...

Like a lot of other frames, the welds are smoothed out and then there is a thin layer of filler to make them look perfect.

Scrod, are you putting the 725 up on PedalRoom anytime soon?
