_about to get a Leader 725.
I'm searching everywhere online, so far only a couple websites have em in my size (53). What I'm REALLY trying to get is the purple chrome colorway. Do you guys know of any local bike shop where I can buy online?>
Also, side note, do you think my SE Landing fork that came off a 56cm 2009 PK Ripper will fit on this 725 frame?

^ win. 
The purple 725s are long gone. Unless you find one used that just so happens to be your size like Licphoto did, you're **** out of luck.

Beat me to it. I found mine on eBay, and jumped on its buy-it-now. It was a first run special order color (Right?) that they don't reproduce... but you should get a 2011 Celeste one and rock it!

The threaded holes in the dropouts are a dead giveaway. Also, it's dumb to use "Super Pista" decals, because it does not have the built-in seatpost binder bolt design of the original Pista Concept.

don't get me wrong, i know having the landing gear on there is stupid, but right now i want to use it as a temporary fork (if it fits). i'm definitely gonna get a carbron for it when it's all said and done. i hate my bike right now. it's a pk and it's one size too big for me.

axle to crown is going to be too long, so your head and seat tube angles will be effectively slackened. depending on the rake on the fork (which i don't think is much) the handling will be pretty sluggish/have too much trail.
honestly i'd just look for an integrated hs road fork, they're usually not too hard to find. sell the landing gear to get money for a road fork.

im trying to get a 725tr v2 from coghouse -_- but that's the only place i can get it unless you guys can recommend a place.
can you guys recommend me a fork? also what size crankset should fit well? i'm gonna get a sugino messenger, but don't know the exact mm. either 46 or 48 tooth. i'm a noob, i know. i'm just really tired of the bike i have now. blaah.
