^clean.

Nice frame sets. going to build them as road bikes, right?

yeah, campagnolo super record components on mine and suntour superbe pro components on his.

Damn so jealous. not a fan of downtube shifters doe.

they're definitely a bit strange but i don't think I've owned a road bike with modern shifters yet lol

That frame is begging for a quill stem.

Thinking about building a new back wheel. If you guys could have ANY hub/rim combo, what would it be?

I know plenty of people who are willing to take my current White Industries/H+Son EERO build off my hands. I want something lighter. I ride on the street a lot, so it would have to be fairly strong. The wheel I have now is probably overkill for the kind of riding I do.

I've heard good things about kinlin XR-300s, or you could try Velocity Fusions, aeroheads, A23s, or even deep v's(they could still be fairly light depending on how you build them.

As for hubs, I have no problems with my formulas.

My starter project.
Needs so much work, haha but it gets me around esp @ critical mass.

Why do you have a single bar end shifter on your handlebars?

I originally had a 3-spd fixed stumey archer hub, recently took it off but the shifter is stuck on the bars.

Do a metric century, it's only 60 miles but still sounds cool.

but make sure you have water, proper cycling shorts, and a shitload of hand positions, like drops+hoods or maybe bullhorns, no track drops/risers, riding clipless is a plus since clips+straps can get kinda uncomfortable. Distance riding is all about staying comfortable, don't think you're doing yourself a favor by choosing a flat route, climbing and whatnot lets you move your back around for a second, instead of keeping that same angle for 100 miles.
and of course, have fun

Not to sound like a complete noob but what's the hate on Leader frames? I notice it on a bunch of different forums but never hear why

I'm getting fucked up by skating.

How much do I have to spend to get a decent setup (with brakes)?

I've rode some and it's a lot of fun.

chill guys. just go out there and ride.

completely unrelated: 3rensho my brother is building for me/ 3rensho frameset he just got

Sad that most people ain't gonna really appreciate these in this thread. Fuckin spectacular bikes. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous. Downtube shifters are awesome on vintage road bikes and take some getting used to, but just like everything else practice makes perfect.
