I wouldn't use those fuckers again if they paid me.

What is it you need from them?

Are you going to sell the Kona now you have the Cannondale?
Might be in the market for a cheap big road bike soon...

Actually, when you say cheap, what do you mean 'cheap'?

I may sell my Sidi Dominators... size 46, used for about two months, totally clean and in great condition. Give me an offer I can't refuse.

er...super cheap at the mo, just bought a new mtb frame to build up so i'll be putting off getting a roadbike for a few months...

Ok, no worries! I'll keep it as a bad weather training bike for now.

Anyone in Birmingham got experience of Leader frames? Yay or nay?

I had one in Seattle, before i got the concept pista. I really like them, and if you've ridden a Dolan, you get a similar ride - due to the similarity in geometry.
Sorry, I'm not very technical in my explanation, but they are worth a look in my opinion!
If this is your first alu track frame - it'll feel a little "harsh", but stick with it...

It'll be my first 'track' frame full stop if i buy it!

Are you going to use it on the track?

No

I really, really wouldnt bother with an alu track frame on teh road unless you're loaded. stiff as fuck, not very useful other than as an actual track bike or a bicycle-shaped toy, no brake holes so no attaching brakes for freewheel use, and theres a risk of crackage after a few years as its built for smooth surfaces not rough as fuck brummie potholed streets.

Hmm this is interesting. Cheers for the advice Pastry. I'd be buying it as a complete build from a friend.. It's the V2 721TR frame.

I would agree with Pastry. I've been out on my Dolan for a few rides around the city, but its not too comfrotable in all honesty.
I have however - had an absolute blast on the track recently, being pushed towards the Kilo. I had a few sessions of standing sprints - where it was noticed that I can get up to top end speed quickly, and hold it, if not gradually increase in speed toward the end of the Kilo.
Its a real killer. I'm loving the idea of some gruelling time-trialling.
Anyhow, the Dolan is loving it.

on the other hand, if youre planning to ride track like pistaboy has been, then why not?

Just puttting this up here before it goes up on ebay.
