Whoa!

That is a pretty full on build list.
Have you thought about running the leader carbon fork?

[lokione]

Sounds sweet dude, bit too white for me but like you say to each his own. With all the black bits up front I recon you should consider the carbon finish leader fork, they look super tuff and white frame white wheels will be pretty white yeah. Anyway get amongst it…

Oh I was going to do something with the fork aka it won’t stay white…I am always a liitle bit weary of Carbon parts as i am 100+ kg on the scales…

Dont use one of those Sugino cog carrier systems, they are shit. The Miche ones are so much better.

But i’d just buy a Phil sprocket if I had Phil hubs.

I’d also build Black hubs/Spokes. Too much white otherwise!!

I absolutely thrashed my full carbon Leader fork and it never broke, highly recommend. Also I might be wrong but aren’t sugino 75 bb’s not sealed? Not great for wet weather, you might want a sealed unit unless you enjoy bb maintenance!

[whatever_really]

Go black rims spokes hubs, and the carbon fork,
It’s so much easier to keep looking good.

[spirito]

@Brianmoose

…what do you think?

Lotsa nice parts on a ho-hum frame imo

[LAM]

it’s a little strange to have both the fixed and freewheel the same size. not much benefit to carrying that extra weight everywhere, having a couple of teeth difference would mean you can change to a lower or higher gear depending on the ride.

Well I want to run with the white set and eventually buy a second set that is black… and yeah I might end up just getting the Phil Cog too…

Yes they are unsealed…as said before this will not be my daily ride so it won’t see much wet or random weather…

After looking at it some more I have come to the conclusion that I will get black rims…still want to keep the white spokes and white hub…

White/black combo on the leader bikes always look good. Personally i’d go all black on the wheelset, but each to their own. As long as you are happy.

Couple of examples i found on pedalroom
Leader 735 - Pedal Room
2011 Leader 735 - Pedal Room
2011/2012 Leader 735 - Pedal Room

Yeah I know it was cheap and I needed a new wheel so bought it -_- growing tired of it and want to get a new wheel set for my current bike…

Also what do you guys think of Bar End Brake Levers? I was thinking of getting one instead of the BMX style lever…
