Notes:

I replaced the electrical tape with burst innertubes, much more effective.

The nashbar saddle broke, and it made more sense to buy a new one than replace it. Pics when I get a chance. New front tire, pics of that too.

And a new stem when I can afford it.

red?!

Submitted by nerdsports on 09/02/2009.

Did you get the frame in red from Leader or did you have it painted/powder coated? I just purchased the new 725 and plan on getting it powder coated red.

SOMA Sparrow - Fine choice!

Submitted by neo_pop_71 on 07/29/2009.

Hey my man,

Nice ride, good to see you got it all together! Diggin' the Sparrow bars, love those cycle cats over at SOMA, probably my favorite bar. I'm finishin' up a build for my brother-in-law, I should have pics up soon, I went with a chopped down SOMA Noah's Arc bar for him as he's bombin' round LA and Hollyweird.

Hope all is cool and you're well... peace'fo'real.

Haha, cool, I'll check it

Haha, cool, I'll check it out when its up.

I wanted the soma bars or something comparable from the get-go, but cash was tight initially. After a couple 20+ mile rides though, I decided that I could spare the 30-some odd it would cost for bars with a better reach, hehe.

Oh hey, just realized you're the dude who had the 721 that I saw on campus. I'm definitely digging the 725, rides like butter.

Well, technically, I'm from Tampa, Florida, but now I'm living in University City. If I can work it out financially, hopefully I can move into center city next year.

Yeah, I'm not stupid. I wanted a carbon one, but couldn't find one to fit my budget. I know aluminum carries road vibrations as opposed to softening them like steel. The suspension rod will help reduce that. And if it doesn't work, I can always swap up when I have more money.
