Does anyone actually ride a Leader Cure Frame?

Well, I just ordered a Cretin frameset, which appears to be pretty much the same as the Cure except for the different top tube. So I would expect the ride and handling to be the same. I'm not interested in the pursuit bike look. Is there any reason that you are asking, or is it just idle curiosity.

Nope, after chatting it up with scrod @ RGHQ, apparently nobody cares about it. Figures.
Leader can put this right alongside the TR727.
Problem is the curves are not that appealing and people who wait pursuit usually go for the mash potato side instead.

Curiosity mainly but I do like the idea of some of the proceeds being donated to a good cause.. Leader makes some good stuff and I might be in the market for a new frame.. I guess in my head this would be a 2 birds and one stone situation!

The Cure is $50 more than the Cretin, just donate the difference. Unless you prefer the look of the Cure, then obviously this doesn't matter.
