I've briefly considered powder-coating, but the cost...

True.
Still an expensive issue to have. Not as expensive as needing a new frame though.

scrod:
if i do end up getting this thing coated, is there a way to get a new headtube badge?
or would you have any advice on reattaching one that presumably has crapped up adhesive after being removed?
mine didnt cost near $500, but i love this frame and i want to have it for a long time
if i get an "expensive" frame its most likely going to be aluminum and it wouldnt replace this bike, just add to my arsenal

I'm seriously considering going with a raw powerdercoat finish on my vintage Stumpjumper. A local company called Groody Bros. does powdercoat/frame modification, and if the stuff they've posted on Facebook is any indication, they do a fantastic job. Might cost a bit to ship though.

Hey Scrod I was wondering if you had any advice on installing the zero stack headset for leader. Also I was wondering if the 2013 735 headtubes were "faced" (is that the right term not to sure).

Plus the cost of getting your bb shell/headtube faced.
That being said I'm still for the idea.

Most of the Leader frames I've seen have been good to go out of the box.

Thank you so much. You have no idea how helpful you and retrogression have been to helping me build my first bike from scratch. Can't wait to be done so I can show it off.

I want to say Coghouse. Pretty sure I went with Coghouse. Almost...ALMOST got another frame this past black friday. Literally had one in my cart, a click away from paying. Glad I didn't.

That depends on the crankset being used.

Either a 110mm Shimano UN55 or the Andel BB will be perfect.
