Link to geometry for leader frames? Can't find it anywhere, and their catalog doesn't load on their site.

Yeah they've been a slackin'

You can find the majority of them here:

P.S. Chrono Trigger is boss

Thanks. Looks like I need to study up on track geometry. I can fit me on a road bike, but these sizes are way different. Looks like longer head tubes are common, and some brands only go up to a 58cm seat tube. I'm assuming a higher saddle to handlebar height makes up for smaller seat tubes, which also gets you into the more aggressive track position, ya?

And yeah, Chrono Trigger is great. Always my favorite.

Also this x bajillion. It looks so bad and pointless. Put that effort into sweet lugs or something.

I like the dropouts. Kind of.

Might not take care of anything new, but it surely makes it more accessible, as those are all +$500 framesets.

So Leader had its 15 minutes of making good frames, and now they're back to bull****.

The seat tube angle is pretty steep though. I have a little setback in the post on my 721, and still feel pretty pitched forward most of the time.

We're different people.

My 725 was really comfortable as I had it set up.

The newest version of the 725 and 735 are on point. I don't know what the **** they're doing with that 'Heritage Lo' though.

The frame itself doesn't look that bad

hamfoh 11-25-12 03:57 AM

that just makes me further wish I could swap my silver big block for the lavender

Scrodzilla 11-25-12 09:21 AM

I'm glad the wheel actually fits into the seatpost cutout now.

rafiki530 11-25-12 12:13 PM

saw this on leaders site a few days ago black kagero build. I dunno about the black I kinda like that silver/raw color of the original ones but the black does seem to be more conspicuous. http://www.leaderbikeusa.com/wp-cont...013-kagero.jpg

calv 11-25-12 11:50 PM

The "Phantom Pearl" is a very boring color TBHIMO.

I like the blue one, but not digging the yellow coloring. I'm very happy with my original one.

Mumonkan 11-26-12 12:17 AM

im very meh about all of the new kageros honestly.
the grey original one was a great color, dunno why they gotta be putting that ugly ass yellow decal on these

i would rather have that little honda pitbike ^

Muffin Man 11-26-12 12:23 AM

Yeah I was gonna say the same thing about the lettering it doesn't go well with the black or the blue. that's kinda what turns me off about it. If they want to pull that kind of lettering off they should go for flat olive green like the military style.

here's me on my old 722 riding through a post sandy pier 57. the event i was working on on the pier had something like 3 mil in damage.

MurderedOut 12-27-12 12:25 PM

Just ordered my 735 fame in gloss white. So stoked to get my build started. Now just to get all the other parts together. I was wondering I have a I806A fork and what headset goes well with it?

Muffin Man 01-04-13 04:49 PM

A little out of focus, whatever.
New wheels!
