The fork from my Sputnik is perfect. It has the same rake as the Leader forks made for the 722. I don't really like how thick those forks are, so I used this instead. Thanks!

Whats the fame size?

Nice to see a small size, every leader i see is a big size. You should try some drops with your sputnik

I'm definitely putting drops back on my Sputnik. I was very torn about it because it had too many different styles of components. I'll bring it back to being classic soon enough. :)

Right on...it's so good to see another tasteful Leader in a sea of jackass builds. Looks great!

Solid build, how's the Fizi'k saddle compared to the specialized toupe?

They're like apples and oranges, pretty much. My Toupe is 10mm wider, and it actually makes a difference; it took me a week to get used to the Toupe. I prefer the Arione, personally. Thanks!
