Build based on the Porsche Design Fearless F28 Yacht. Don't know why that inspired me, but I love the Porsche Design group philosophy and products. Timeless clean style.

Damn, another Leader with the rear end problem, where the rear wheel is almost touching the seattube, but yet the axle is in the far back of the trackends.

What's the spacers for on TOP of your stem? You should just cut your fork down abit, get rid of those.

Yeah it's some pretty poor design on their part. You get what you pay for!

I haven't ridden the bike yet, so I may need to raise the stem a bit. Easier to make the steer tube shorter than longer ;)

The poor design is because of the model...the newer ones (i.e. 725 and all that) have better clearance but still have a tight geometry since they tried to fuse track geometry and a comfortable geometry for street
