New Leader bike build!

Here's my new bike build. Specs are below:

'08 Leader LD735TT time trial frame, around 54cm
(so sue me for using a TT frame as a road bike. It works.)
05 Campy Veloce bits (brake calipers/shift levers, rear derailleur)
'10 SRAM Rival front derailleur, crankset, and BB
Specialized All-Condition Pro tires front and rear
Selle Italia saddle (eh)
old-school Shimano SPD pedals (temporary)

It lives!!!!

the two lever on the bar are called "Brake lever and shifter" you can shift using the shifter and shift using the brake by pushing it sideways. i always want that kind of shifter

@ociel1988 my frame is a 2008 model---I believe 09+ have that wind cutting bit on the headtube. I'm glad you like your new build!

I'm into fixed gear but damn I'd give my house for this sexy bike....OMG

[HotLoverYogy]

that's quite nice, i believe all the dislikes are because, all the fixsters thought that it was a fixie build.

[strykerhorse]

SRAM parts fit fine. I just fell on hard times and had to sell em, haha. It's NT a bad frame...super stiff like aluminum usually is.

What was that clicking sound that your pedals made? What are those two lever on your handlebars used for? Whats a de-rail-er?

Hmmm...this bike must be from the future!

@piccalocb I don't believe it's that heavy of a frame. I haven't weighed it yet, but guesstimating, I'd have to say between 19-22 lb loaded up in a full build.

[strykerhorse]

It wasn't a fixed-gear bike, so brakes are pretty necessary. That bike was plenty of fun WITH the brakes.

[strykerhorse]

Leader listed it for $300-$400 a few years back.

[strykerhorse]

@saintdracula1 they're present because the fork's from a different bike and is a little long for that frame. When I get another fork, that'll be fixed.

@78ozz28 Hey there,

What year of Fuji frames are you talking about? The newest ones look way different...the geometry and tubes are nowhere near the same.

[strykerhorse]

@spamm0man286 I haven't had a bad experience on it yet. Granted, I didn't get any really long-distance rides in yet due to weather, but for short- and mid-distance stuff, the frame's been fine.

[sam.travel]

why would he take the brakes off . it's not fixed gear -.-

[werMODEdits]

Oh lol . But you can skid on it right ?

[nfsrepo]

How much is the value of the frame??

[ireclawx]

remove the brakes, get a new dropbar, get a new grip, and remove the cup holder.

[AZNGRINGO]

sounds like mr. burns from the simpsons.

I HAVE WON A COUPLE TRIATHLON WITH THIS FRAME BUT MINE ON THE VERY FRONT HAS A FRONT CURVE TO CUT THE WIND EASIER. HAD A CEVELO TRIATHLON SWAT ALL THE PARTS TO THIS FRAME AN LOOKS WAY BETTER AN PERFORM

[utricularchris]

the likes and the dislikes look like a lightsaber

[ireclawx]

ooo damn thought its a fixed gear, if it is then my comment's true :D
