LEADER, which was born in San Diego on the West Coast of the United States, celebrated its 25th anniversary last year.
Actually, LEADER and I are the same age. I turned 26 this year.
It's quite rare for a fixed-gear bike brand to last this long.
Since it has been around for so long, I'm sure many people have encountered LEADER, given up on it for various reasons, and have some memories of it.

If you used to ride a LEADER and would like to get back into it, why not try the LEADER 735TR, which has a different feel to the one you rode back then?

LEADER 735TR "50s Venice Beach"

Matt Black has a calm atmosphere, but also gives a rugged impression.
Perl White is brilliant and beautiful, as befits LEADER's high-end models.
The 735TR has remained available in these two colors ever since its birth, right up to the present day.
I'm sure there are many people who have driven something of the same color in the past.
If you decide to buy a 735TR again like you did back then, we hope you will enjoy the special color that is different from the one you had back then.

Of course, the reason we want you to ride the 735TR isn't just because it comes in a limited edition color that has never been seen before.
The 735TR is the "easiest to ride" of all LEADER's vehicle models.

In order to optimize track racers for the street, LEADER continues to challenge itself to create frames that are more suitable for riding around town by redesigning the geometry from scratch.
With a steep 75.5° seat angle, wide top tube length, and low standover height, its revolutionary geometry provides quick response, stable riding, and the stop-and-go comfort of a real track bike, which is why it is a favorite of many BROTURES staff.
The riding position is also overwhelmingly more comfortable than with other frames, making it suitable for long rides .
Because the bike is designed with comfort as the most important factor, I even think that the 735TR is the bike that I would like people who have given up on fixed gear bikes to pick up again.

More than the ease of riding, what leaves the biggest impression is the extremely thick aerodynamic down tube.
This rugged thickness and sharp aerodynamic feel give it a unique coolness that is not found in frames from other brands.
The reason why it has to be the 735TR is hidden in its appearance.

BROTURES T3 CARBON WHEEL FRONT

BROTURES SHRED60 REAR

If there are any parts that you were unable to get at the time, please take this opportunity to get them all.
Carbon wheels have always been the star customization for fixed gear bikes.
I had long admired HED.'s carbon tri-spoke H3 wheels, and recently I was able to get my hands on one, making my dream come true.
Once you think a part is cool, you can't give it up, even if you want to. (laughs) Back then, I continued to ride my fixed gear bike as a complete bike, but now that I'm an adult and have a little more money in my wallet, I thought maybe it was time to realize the dream that I couldn't achieve back then.
I would love to create a custom bike that I can be proud of and show off to my past self.

DEDA ELEMINTI PISTA DROP BAR

I thought it might be nice to add track drop handlebars to give it a more fixed gear bike look.

The reason I decided to write this blog was because I met a customer to whom I sold a 735TR just the other day.
More than five years ago, a customer who was riding a LEADER 735TR in Japan gave up his fixed gear bike for personal reasons and moved overseas.
A customer who recently returned to Japan to set up shop came into the shop and told us about his strong desire to ride a 735TR again.
In that story, he mentioned that he fell in love at first sight with the 735TR "50s Venice Beach" that we introduced this time, and it reminded me once again that the LEADER 735TR is a special bike that makes people who own it want to ride it again and again.

If there are any of you who used to ride fixed-gear bikes and would like to ride again, we at BROTURES are confident that you will get on board the LEADER 735TR, a fixed-gear bike that we can confidently say is a great choice.

Well then.
