Leader 725 TR with Carbon Track Fork. Track only, not tarck.
My Leader 725TR.
It's track, not tark,
Weinmann DP18's laced to formula fixed/fixed hub
Formula cog-set.
I have 15 and 13 tooth on there now, dropouts are perfect size to accommodate two different cogs in back separated by 2 teeth.
MKS tensioners for Aluminium Frames. (One already broke- I'm not a huge fan of these, they aren't too burly)
Sugino Messenger w/ 46T chainring (yeah i know i'm starting to get some color coordination, but the shit costs the same, might as well floss it)
Leader Carbon 33 Rake fork.
FSA zero-stack headset
Velo-Orange Stem
Leader Keirin Drop bars.
Sella San Marco Saddle - Regal NOS
FSA Track chain, candy coated.
MKS Track Pedals w/ chrome clips and single straps.
CST Super HP Skins (160 PSI Clinchers!!!!)
This bike is super nice. Thanks to 5115 Bikes
and Mike at Mike's Bikes.
After a couple months fine-tuning this, I'm super happy with it. I went with Alloy components instead of carbon and the difference is noticeable, much stiffer, and killer in sprints. I am considering selling the crankset and replacing it with an Andel, like the one I recently got for my Leader 722 trick bike, They seems stronger and just as well made. The frame itself is nice for Aluminum - super light (DUH!), but with a livelier feel than other Alum frames I've ridden.
Leader's carbon fork is super rigid and responsive, and super damp, which is nice on the hands/ back.
I've been taking this our in the mornings, alternating with my Roadie, which i'll have to post up next. Sadly, BREC veledrome is still closed for resurfacing, so i'm stuck riding this beautiful machine in 2 mile ovals at Audubon Park, which ain't too bad, especially when they're 3:30 laps.

what fork do you have on it. That's exactly the one I've been looking for. Maybe not that brand, but that style.
