New Leader bike build!

Here's my new bike build. Specs are below:

'08 Leader LD735TT time trial frame, around 54cm
(so sue me for using a TT frame as a road bike. It works.)
05 Campy Veloce bits (brake calipers/shift levers, rear derailleur)
'10 SRAM Rival front derailleur, crankset, and BB
Specialized All-Condition Pro tires front and rear
Selle Italia saddle (eh)
old-school Shimano SPD pedals (temporary)

It lives!!!!

Btw I just posted a video up of the latest build of the bike. Check it out.

SRAM parts fit fine. I just fell on hard times and had to sell em, haha. It's NT a bad frame...super stiff like aluminum usually is.

The Time-trial frames look solid but is it heavier?

[strykerhorse]

@piccalocb I don't believe it's that heavy of a frame. I haven't weighed it yet, but guesstimating, I'd have to say between 19-22 lb loaded up in a full build.

I HAVE WON A COUPLE TRIATHLON WITH THIS FRAME BUT MINE ON THE VERY FRONT HAS A FRONT CURVE TO CUT THE WIND EASIER. HAD A CEVELO TRIATHLON SWAT ALL THE PARTS TO THIS FRAME AN LOOKS WAY BETTER AN PERFORM

@ociel1988 my frame is a 2008 model---I believe 09+ have that wind cutting bit on the headtube. I'm glad you like your new build!

remove the brakes, get a new dropbar, get a new grip, and remove the cup holder.

@strykerhorse here's mine!! with custom paint job. Look up:  Trek roadbike leader 715 frame

that's quite nice, i believe all the dislikes are because, all the fixsters thought that it was a fixie build.

[piccalocb]

Hows the bike keeping up so far.. just wanted to know why you had to sell the sram parts. Is it cuz it didn't fit? I'm starting to get worried since I got sram rival group as well for my 715 frame.

[piccalocb]

I got the 715r frame.. got the sram rival parts. Did the 1 1/8 headset fit on that frame?
