I’m really not that impressed by these brand new frames. I much prefer the vintage race frames both visually and compositionally. Which isn’t to say leader doesn’t make good frames, I just don’t want one. As per this one specifically, I would raise the seat to take advantage of the aggressive road frame geometry, or you may as well be riding a single speed cruiser. Enjoy. Cheers.
exactly!that frame’s not for cruising!drops,raise the seat.risers(red!grips)look totally out of place.put ‘em on your Free Spirit conversions.too nice a frame to wimp it.

Apart from that frame most leaders are amazing frames as long as you dont base your opinion on this bike and the “fatty” bike

Not all Leader frames are ugly, man… Sure, they’re mediorce and all but the Leader frames without the logos are not too shabby.
