After about 2 months spent testing, re-testing, posting,searching and buying i can happily say that i have built my first real TT/Tri bike.My frame { that should be here in a week or so??? {fingers crossed}} is a Leader TT 735 model with rear wheel cutout for only 359$. Next i bought a carbon fiber Reynolds ouzo pro intergrated fork for 85$ on ebay. These prices may seem waaay too cheap but ive had the fork, and other components checked out. Ive talked to a owner of a Leader frame and he loves it.Anyway the crankset is a shimano 105. Aerobars- Syntace C2 clip ons with base bar, cane creek 200tt brakes, and shimano shifters.Weyless full carbon headset spacers for 10$. Combine that with a cateye mity 8, look pedals, continental ultrasport tires, A-class Exa rims, and Selle Italia nova seat and you can picture what ill be riding shortly!!!!!!! ill post pictures as soon as there available
comments, questions? POST BACK!
Is it a black or a red Leader? (man, that just sounds so racist, sorry.)
Nice looking bike, ever rode Leader before?
black
.
no i`ve never ridden one before

Racist? Ever heard of James Brown? I would follow that guy to my death.
I’m usually a syntace fan, but have you considered trying the new Profile wing handlebars and T2 aerobars? I’ll be they’d look pretty trick on that bike, and they wouldn’t cost much more.
I stumbled across Leader’s site a while ago. Have never heard or read anything bad about them. I’ve been considering building a bike using a leader fork/frame. I anxiously await your pics…

What about Dennis Green? Man that guy is a good football coach.
You should post tons of pics because I have been considering one of these frames. You could build up a decent bike pretty cheap going this way. what size did you go for?
very, very small 46cm

Holy cow! you must be almost as tall as francois.
Almost twice as tall!
