Thanks!

Why you so lazy?

Hey scrod i traded my kilo tt pro frameset for a leader 721 frameset that is structurally sound but the paint is kind of scratched a lot on the seat stays who do you think won out of that trade? plus do you have any idea on how i could obtain the leader decal because i he did not get them along with the frame. Last question what recommendation do you have for the seat stays a large sticker?

Just ride it.

Swinny145123 09-23-15 09:20 PM

do you think the trade was worth it?

himespau 09-23-15 09:25 PM

Doesn't matter. It's a done deal now, right? Put it under your ass and ride it until the seatpost cracks.

I don't, but it's not my bike.

It's a 721, so he should be ok.

Scrod,

Long time, first time. I'm looking for a track frame but can't get to the bottom of the Aventon\leader\unknwn\whateverelse debate. What do you suggest as a track worthy
alu frame under $400. If it's $179 that'll be even better. Thanks.

Increase your total budget $99 and get a complete bike.

Wow ! Free shipping too !

miyatalover 09-25-15 08:26 PM

That's a sweet deal. This model doen't have the seat post issue like the leader 725? With these new companies it's difficult to choose because certain years have bad frames and others are fine. That's why asking you, I don't have the energy anymore to track down a good frame. Anyway, thanks for the advice.

jlafitte 09-25-15 08:27 PM

Oy. So tempted.

Do you realize that's Scrod's shop that is selling that bike ? There's no way on earth he'd be selling them if they had frame problems. Anyways, that frame doesn't have an integrated seatpost clamp, which was the cause of the problem on the 2015 model Leader 725.

If I didn't already own five alu/carbon track bikes I might jump on one of them as well.

TT hit the nail on the head.

It took awhile for my shop to start dealing with Aventon because from what I saw of their initial run of frames when they first hit the market, I wasn't impressed. From what we've been seeing regularly on a first-hand basis and and as their component choices on the new completes clearly show, Aventon's quality has greatly improved over the past few years and my shop has a pretty strong relationship with them now. Aside from them being a big supporter of our local Velodrome and their team coach Sean Burke teaching classes there, they are cool to deal with, their product is good and they stand by it. Works for me.

Is that cause it ships from Aventons factory? Or is that just a really good deal.

I might ****ing buy one...

Scrodzilla 09-25-15 11:42 PM

Aventon's warehouse is about two hours away from the shop and because we can't feasibly keep every size & color in stock at all times, some ship from us and whatever we don't have in stock at the time is drop shipped directly to the end customer from their facility.

Either way, it's an amazing deal. :)

Nagrom_ 09-25-15 11:56 PM

Can we be friends again if I buy a fixie

Nagrom_ 09-25-15 11:57 PM

Asking the real questions over here

You could buy a dozen fixies, and Scrod still wouldn't give you the time of day. :lol:

Nagrom_ 09-26-15 02:20 PM

You're not as funny as you think.

Scrodzilla 09-26-15 02:31 PM

I think TT is a real hoot!

So is it safe to say the new aventon mataro complete is now the best bike for the $$ over the kilo tt pro?
