the gatorskins kind of have that resemblance :P

blue + brown has always ranked high in my color wheel, but I agree with sqrl on this one... Gum-walls would complete the look

I just picked up a 725 and was wondering if the cane creek zs-3 headset would work in place of the FSA headset suggested by leader, thanks for any help

You'll have no trouble.

It's the same headset, just a different brand name.

thanks, i had a feeling it was a rebadge

I have a giant Bowery(don't laugh I got it really cheap). I want to get a 725 and switch the parts over until I can upgrade them. What will I need? New headset as mentioned above? New bottom bracket? Please help. I'm kind of a newbie. Thanks.

You will need a zero stack headset but if you plan on using the same crankset, using the same BB will be fine. If your current seatpost has a diameter of 27.2mm, you can re-use that as well.

Thank you scrod. I'm desperate to be rid of that Bowery frame. Sorry, I forgotnto ask, I'm 5' 10" and am pretty regular in terms of inseam. Is 55 the size I need?
Scrod, do you own or work at retrogression? Was gonna get the fram from there. Thanks

Yup, I run Retrogression. :D

I'm 5'10" w/ average proportions and my 55cm 725 fits me very well.

Thank you for your responses.

Anytime, man!

Is the cutout in the seattube casted or welded on?

Is this the same blue that's listed on coghouse and retrog? if so they should definitely use sunlight in their stock photos, makes the blue look 100x better than

Also minor pet peeve from a 57, is the 55 to 58 jump in Leader's frames. I'm afraid I'll get one a biiiiiiit to small or just too big. I'm 6' and think I'd feel safer with 55. I need to see if there's a Leader dealer here in Houston so I can go sit on one before eventually handing scrod my cc and running away

Casted and indented.

hamfoh - that's the same blue. It looks even better in person. The red and green are amazing too.

About the sizing, I think a 55 may be too small for you. I'm 5'10" with longish arms and my 58 is perfect.

Its soo nice to ride without a DSLR... I'm seriously contemplating picking up a Canon gXX

OR a canon S9X. Seriously. You get dslr features in a point, shoot/ manual (there's a mode), and decent optical zoom for a compact camera all in something that's slimmer than a cigarette pack and smaller than your wallet.

My wife has a s95 and she keeps it in her skinny jean pocket (see how I was specific and said skinny, and she has a slim build) for ease of access for her blogging needs. And yes I've obviously auditioned it's abilities.

yeah... I prefer to have a bit more beef in my bodys as well as a few more functions over the S9X... My brother has a G10 that I'll borrow, or maybe its an 11... either way, I'ma check them out.

Off Topic Question: Anybody know of a good saddle bag that fits a decent sized camera? I was looking at the timbuk2 pack which looked decent sized, but I didn't have the camera to try it out yet.

I think you should go to a LBS with your brother's G10 and try them out like you would for a camera bag at ritz camera. Keep in mind how ever you do not want much movement between your camera and the saddlebag.

oo :/ that sucks. It would be much stronger if it was welded.

Why does this matter? Must be because you have massive quads from riding with those 25lb lips.

Just saying, A cast seat tube would be very weak compared to a welded indent. If it was casted in that shape, It looses a lot of its integrity.

Don't overthink it. Leader has obviously reinforced that area.
