Just finished building this yesterday and I'm very pleased with it. I wills till be doing minimal upgrades like getting a carbon seatpost and changing the wheels and tires. Still I would like to hear your feedback on upgrades I should consider. Personally I ride for 40 miles a trip and I'm always looking for ways to go faster and farther.

I'm also building up my 2013 leader frame as well! You should consider getting a leader fork because of the specific rake that the frame is designed for. Just my 2 cents.

Yeah thankx man Ithat's been one of my more serious questions since my current fork has a 43 rake and I was a little hesitant since leader makes theirs at 28-35 rake. But so far it seems to ride smooth and I got it on ebay for $50 so I'm pretty happy with it.

Longer stem and fewer spacers, compact drops, clipless pedals would definitely change your ride quality. A full carbon leader wouldn't hurt either. Safe riding!
