I actually meant the white frame lol.

Oh....that's their steel frame w/ polished stainless lugs. I don't think that's available anymore either.

Ah I see.. thank you grandmaster scrod

the one topless posted is pretty well built.

This thread got epic fast.

Mrs. Scrodz, Welcome to the forum.

Vixtor, if I ever see you doing that to a hamster again...

Hamsters like to eat popcorn while watching internet shenanigans. It's a fact, bro.

I need more pics plzkthx, I'm thinking I might want one of these fine Leader frames that you all speak of! Does anyone else have one of those 725TR joints?

Massan's got one:

Patrick from Pedal Consumption also has a really nice one:

Damn 725, the geo doesn't fit me at all but I want one so badly!

Massan's ratio for brakeless in SF blows my mind.

I know. Especially when you see him busting out skids like it's nothing.

Man I need this. I'm thinking I'm going to get this instead of the other frame I was thinking about. I'm mad the fork costs more than the frame though. :( Makes me almost feel like I'm putting HID headlights in my Yugo.

The fork may be expensive but it's worth every dollar IMO.

The fork is worth it IMO, 100% cf, true track fork, very light, very stiff, very nicely made.

Not normally a Leader fan, but I really like that frame.

I definitely want that fork.

nvm

Despite all the hate and half-assed builds, Leader still has a place in my heart. Maybe I'll sell my IRO someday and get some spiffy new frame.

I only bought one cuz Scrod has one and I wanted to impress.

There does seem to be an overwhelming amount of "what the hell was this person thinking" Leader builds out in the world.

The hate is mostly just bull**** at this point.

My favorite leader by far.

This is the frame I originally wanted but the geometry never would have worked for me. Looooong top tube and I'm not built like a primate (like a certain someone around here :)).

This is really nice:

Love the blue/chrome!

yah i was seconds away from pulling the trigger on that lugged white frame (so awesome looking) but the top tube was just waaaaay too long for my liking/comfort. and i have decently long wingspan. i didn't want to have to lay down on the bike to ride it (exaggerating)

oh but those other new leaders are quite spiffy. that blue one and scrods being the only builds ive seen of them, but both are quite nicely done. im sure someone will jackass together a crap build and post it sooner or later :)

something about that beastly ass bike is sexy, very sexy.

M' lady's is a 722 too (from page 3):

I've seen quite a few hack 722 builds. Look around on Google. You'll find 'em.
