$109.00 | | Purchased At: | ebay | | Strengths: | Price, value for money | | Weaknesses: | Paint seems a little fragile... | | Bike Setup: | Manitou R7 Elite, Shimano XT 2008 derailleurs, Mavic Crossride Disc, Shimano LX M580 disc brakes | | Bottom Line: | The color of this frame is awesome (I have the chilli pepper red, it is even better than in the pictures!), but seems a little fragile. I do true XC and it performs very well. I can't complain the flexibility because I'm very light to (64 Kg). It fits very well in me (I'm 1,77m high, bought the 16'(M) frame) . The slooping of the top tube makes it very agile. It is a lightweight frame compared to others with similar prices. I have this frame for one year and I'm very satisfied, it is the best value for money you can get!Of course there are better frames, but for this price it is very difficult to get any better! Leader is a Taiwan factory that makes frames for other companies. If you are considering in buying one, don't hesitate, this frame e beautiful and performs very well, similar to theoretical better products...Go for it! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
