Considering Unknown LV2 frame over Leader 735
 
Been considering this for a while and might take the plunge on the unknown LV2. The matte black looks great and it does not look like the typical cookie cutter track bikes out there. Aesthetically the LV2 looks better than the leader 735 as well which is kind of cementing the decision since both would ride about the same. Matte black frame I am pondering on:

Thoughts experience on this frame?

The welds on the LV2 are a turnoff to me. I like the thinner top tube though. No experience on either.

Bah I think your right. I like smooth welds too. Wish I could see one up close. Think I will look at other frames.

Ive got a 735 and I'd say buy anything that isn't a leader, **** is garbage.

I dont agree with this. It looks like a lot of frames out on the market right now. 725/735 specialized langster pro aventon bianchi super pista.
Throne strada customs pro just to name a few more.

if you plan on building it up like it is in that picture aka your typical fixie foo street build then either an unknown or a leader will be fine. Just my opinion.

Ewwww unknown...
People usually only buy those because they're cheap/ on sale because they can't be moved off shelves. Psh, it's pretty much the definition of a cookie cutter frame, they just had the Chinese maker throw together some standard designs that are already out in the wild....

I would stick with a 735 for quality and a company that stands behind their warranty and product.

If its garbage I would gladly take it off your hands, lol.
But seriously if you are willing to sell I am interested.
