What makes you say that?

Almost every day ;)

My original Leader frame is still going strong.

had a look around and couldn't find the stolen thread!

Got pics? Still available?

My He'd 3 carbon wheel was stolen from the wapping area of London on Thursday 8th November 2012 between 6pm-10pm. If anyone hears of one for sale second hand, please let me know as I'd love to get it back. Thanks

This isn't a pic of my actual wheel, but it's exactly the same. 700c tubular Carbon 3 spoke wheel with the same graphics on.

No one know about changing these hubs?

So anyone know if I can convert this to a fixed?

I'll take a photo of the wheel so maybe someone on here can help find out if it's 'fix-able'

still need to work out what Shimano hub I have. Seems the Surly doesn't work on old and new ones!

That's what I found. I've emailed HED to see if the :

HED 3 rear track axle kit Cassette adaptor
Hed 3 cassette track kit rear wheel. Includes steel solid axle, cones,
spacers, outer lock nuts, and end nuts with captive rotating washer, cassette
adaptor. Adaptor is threaded for a lockring.
MSRP: $100

would work in converting the hub. If not I'll sell the rear on.

I've just got a rear HED with a cassette on from a Triathalon bike and want to convert it to a fixed rear. Do I just need the conversion kit from HED, not really sure about swapping it over. Rear to Rears got to be easier than rear to front.

I've email HED to see what they say.

Not used them but try:

I've just had an accident and the bike been hurt bad, but I'm perfectly ok. Need to find a why of claiming against the drivers insurance.

Those Vans look like 'Special Shoes'!

life-time guarantee from leader on my frame. So I'm guessing it'll last longer than a year.

Been riding my leader for a while and am loving it. Really nice ride, light and reactive. Maybe a little more harsh than a steel frame, but nothing I have issue with, even with the crap roads in the city.

I've put some tape around the top bar, which you can even see, as it was getting a little scratched from lock abuse.

Only real issue with ordering from leader is if you get caught with import tax!!!!

I was out there from 11am - 1pm. Very very slow ride.

I've datatagged mine. Hopefully it will make it a little easier to get back, can't hurt (wallet excluded). Anything would be worth it if my bike got stolen. Also, anyone ever made a claim against the lock makers. The more expensive locks normally have guarantees that pay out. Wondered if these worked in the real world.

Looks pretty good considering the project!

Can't make Sunday, as I'm not in London. Hope someone will be posting some pictures here! Looking forward to seeing what this bike will end up looking like.

Yankee: Have the forks with me today, so see you at 12.30pm for collection.

Don't think this is anti-porn. If you don't like it, fair enough, but it's not a crime against style or function.

I quite like it. Definitely shouldn't be in this thread.

this is going to be the ugliest bike in the world

That'll take some doing, have you seen the anti-porn thread!

I've got some brand new black Aluminum Forks (700c 1-1/8", 43mm rake) you can have for £10 if you're not getting a frame with forks.
