I road this bike for a few sprint races, Ironman California 70.3 as well as Ironman Lake Placid. This bike has served me very well. When the pocket book finally allowed me to upgrade to a full Carbon bike, I took the leap.
If someone is looking to get into road riding, or starting to do triathlons, this is a perfect setup. Quality components, a fast, stiff, aero frame, roadie drop bars and aero bar clip ons. I am 6' and race at 190. This frame fit well for me, maybe a tad small. Being aero most of the time I needed to make sure the bar ends were close so I wasn't reaching for the bars too much. I have the seat all the way forward on this to get as steep as possible. This bike should fit anyone 5'8 - 6' depending on your flexability. This frame had a write up on page 180 of August Triathlete magazine. It handles very well (much more solid in the turns than my new Cervelo) Full 9 Speed Dura-Ace (Shifters, Front D, Read D, Brakes, crankset) Dura-Ace chain, just measured and is still at .05 stretch (brand new) SRAM 12X26 Cassette Brand new Wheels and tires Shimano WH-R500 and Vittoria Pro Slick 2006 Leader LD-735TT time trial Frame. http://www.leaderbikestore.com/pd_735tt_2008.cfm Carbon Aero Fork Uncut Carbon Seat Post Fizik Arione saddle No pedals included. $1000 More pics available at http://picasaweb.google.com/bill.bielinski/LeaderBike |

I can vouch for this bike. Seen it personally many times. This baby is in great shape and is a sharp looking machine. Good luck on the sale Bski!
