long wait but new frame finally arrived yesterday, its a leader 722ts with a tifosi carbon fork. i heard nothing but bad stuff about leader and had no intention of getting one until max at TFG talked it up and recommended it over frames costing £200 more!
i built it up this morning with all the components from my old frame, now a dutchy baskety affair (#41914) kind of wish the arione was all black but wont lose any sleep over it as its still an awesome saddle.
in need of some new tires and front wheel but that will have to wait.
also not sure the rake on the front fork suits the frame that much, it felt ok on the maiden voyage but just looks a bit loose...
