I agree about the hoods, I ordered a set (and one for my wife) as soon as a sale came up. Options in terms of positioning are a big plus for me.

Disagree that your Leader is a regular one before the hoods. It's a sick bike.

For anyone wondering, it's on page 5. I just noticed the seat stay cutout. Can't wait for better pics.

Possibly :p

I get confused sometimes.

ddeadserious 12-04-11 08:49 PM

SO nice. I really might get one, I'm curious how the raw will look with the graphics.

hamfoh 12-04-11 09:22 PM

hate the graphics on the new 722. looks way too similar to the Raleigh/Macaframa. Frame looks pretty nice though, not sure how I feel about that seat tube. But I feel like that graphic was designed by high school football cheerleaders. glad I grabbed an old one

Yeah, I wish more road fixed gears were actually set up practically as road bikes.

:-/ I don't like it. The ones now are so nice, but these new ones have too much with the cutout and the graphics

soyboy 12-05-11 05:32 PM

i dig the new paint job, excited to see what it's like on the raw. I'll just leave this here since i got all the way here before realize sherblock posted a link to it yesterday

Surprisingly, it looks nice in red, but I'm more interested in seeing the other colorways.. I KIND OF like the older Red 722ts!

homebrewk 12-05-11 05:54 PM

I agree. Looks like a steel Raleigh Macframa.

Sherblock 12-05-11 10:14 PM

It has always bugged me that Leader lists "smooth welds" as a feature. I think something that simple and something that really does improve the bike should come standard. Who's with me?

Yeah, if I want the cutout, I'll go with the 725/735. Now all three have cutouts. Shoulda just kept it to the 725/735.
