My Kagero arrived from them and got damaged during shipping. The next day UPS picked up the damaged frame, and I had a new from from Leader 3 business days after contacting them. Every Leader frame I've had(3) have been top notch with no issues whatsoever.

With respect to the Retrogression straps, what are the best pedal matches?

Are the cut outs the only difference between the K710 and the K710SL?

Pretty much that and the weight. The standard K710 is a heavy beast.

31.8 quill stem, do they exist? google tells me no but they dont know as much about bikes.
if not, whats a good cheap riser with a useable clamp area like the suburban assault ones?
thinkin about makin a rain bike/errand beater conversion for round the 'hood

Most people don't know of this little bit of glory. But the GMC Denali bike you can buy at walmart has a 31.8 quill. It is a glorious discovery. But in reality the right move is to get a stem converter. It is basically a plug that goes into your threaded fork, and goes straight up for the fork clamp in a threadless stem.

Think I should give the '13 Langster Pro a try? I still can't find much on the aluminum they use. Carbon fork, FACT carbon seatpost. $600.
Edit: I think I'll pass on it, the fact that I can't find anything on their A1 Premium Alloy doesn't seem like a good thing.

B259s are the ones that were recalled and replaced by B260s. Universal Cycles shouldn't even be selling them.

I'll be putting them up on the site soon because a lot of people ask for them.
Ok, enough RG talk in this thread.

It's the same material they use on all of their Secteur, and the low-mid end Allez.
