do you still have your leader frame?

Yeah, I do. It's Leader 727 with a 58cm seattube CTT. Why? Interested in it? I wouldn't mind selling it as I now have three frames cluttering up the house and I share it with three other people.

maybe by the way what other frames do you have ?

722 is the best Leader frame by far!

After some "adjusting" I managed to fit one of the seatposts 44/17 kindly gave me a few weekends ago. I managed to get a 26.8 post to go in without too much fight. I still think it's a 27.2 though, looking at the small amount of space left.

Just need the 26mm stem which I should have tomorrow, and I'll buy some double clips after pay day...

Looking good. Stick a chain on and some bars and go ride it!

I used the clamp bolt out of the stem for the seat binder, so can't clamp bars on! Bloody annoying! I supposed I could still stick the chain on and get that sorted out, and try and find the right cable for the front brake...

What is the stem? I have a spare Cinelli clamp bolt somewhere from an old stem.

Not sure, I think it's an old SR or similar. It doesn't matter though, I have a stem in the post and should hopefully have it tomorrow.

Although, I could probably do with replacing the stem bolt/seat binder. I think I need about 17/18mm binder bolt if you have anything in that range?

I'll have a scratch around tomorrow and see what I can find.

snip and I'll buy some double clips after pay day...

PM Joseph about that, he has some pedals from his new Vigorelli

I've got pedals, and straps but no double toe clips right now, just single clips/straps.

Ductape :)

Joesph, if you strip that vigorelli, I'll be forced to punch you in the dick.

I've made a few little changes. Put on my old seat, a new brake calliper and front wheel. Still need to take out the cartridge headset and put in something smaller so I get that stem lower. The I can cut down the steerer and get rid of that stack on the top. I also want to get a bigger chainring. 50t or bigger. Anyone? Oh, and I've decided I'm stripping it to raw aluminium as soon as I can.

Steve - You don't really need double cages for double straps. I don't think they make any difference at all as those MKS straps you have don't stretch or twist anyway.

I have some MKS Slyvan track pedals with Genetic double straps and cages already set up and together.

Why is everyone so against me stripping it? You don't know what it's like leaving this thing locked up!

Talk to Down To My Last 15p about locking up. He takes no chances.

Awww yeah... Need to go out for a test ride shortly. I've cut w few cornered for now, but will rectify them later on :)

All you need is an elastic band ; ) And the bike is looking great Steve!

it's OBVIOUS he's trollin
no one in their right mind would do that to a cinelli

Went out for a quick spin. Bullhorns definitely stretch me out... May resort to a crosstop lever for more comfort, but I'll see how it goes for now :)

I have a Dirt Harry in black and silver if you want it.

What locks do you have? and you can always rat it out but still keep the original paint job
