Leader 735TR Custom

By lito on 10/18/2007. Bike tags: Fixed gear | Track bike | 735tr | aluminum | dura ace | more tags >>

Leader 735TR 06'

Azonic World Force Cut Down and Guizzo Stem 90mm

Leader Track Fork and Cane Creek Intergrated

Dura Ace Low Flange laces to Black Deep V Non Machined

Dara Ace Low Flange laced to Black Deep V Non Machined

Dura Ace Crankarms/ Dura Ace Bottom Bracket/ Sugino 75 Chainring

Tioga spyder (carbon)/ Dura Ace Seatpost

Crank Brothers Egg Beaters Ti Anodized Black

47/15 For the Street 49/15 For the Track

I also use a Deda Pista Stem and Handlebar for the Track. I stripped and "ball burnished" the frame myself just because the original color was hideous, it looks much better this was, I believe.

Broke the chainstays after bottoming out in a pothole full of water.

Big pot hole or weak frame??? I'm about to buy one of their road bikes but I'll reconsider if the frame is crap.

Big pothole.....

and 200lbs of weight. I also raced it on the track for about to years, so it did have some fatigue to it already. In my opinion, it is definitely a strong frame.

Decals!!!

Submitted by lito on 10/25/2007.

Only BARE aluminum for me!!! I like frames without all the flashy logos and advertisements. I know it's impossible to find one like that now an days so the next best thing is to make it that way. Why don't u clear coat your frame or try wet sanding any imperfections. Take your time but have fun with it.

Thanks

Submitted by lito on 10/24/2007.

Not at all man, Put the paint stripper on and let it sit have patiences. I let it sit in some areas up to 15 min, it won't eat the aluminum. Then just scrape it off and wash the frame down, then wet sand with 1500/2000 grit sand paper and clear coat and your done. the pics look dirty cuz of the s****y lighting and my greasy hands from putting together. Thanks

hows the frame feel?

Submitted by BLUEMEANIE on 10/24/2007.

I was considering one of those Leader frames (either the 720 or 735) How is it? Nice and stiff? Handles well?

Handle.

Submitted by lito on 10/24/2007.

They're very well built and for the price they're worth it. Yea extremely stiff, I had to go with the carbon fork for use on the street and the handling is so responsive, it turns very tight. Deff go for the 735 if you want to go fixed.
