I am selling a Leopard DC1 size 57.5 frame. The frame has never been in any crash whatsoever. I am also willing to sell it as a complete bike with a Dura Ace 7800 gruppo. I have only had the bike since February and am selling it because I am moving back to Oregon from LA and already have a bike in Oregon. I don't need two race bikes.
The DC1 is slightly heavier than the company's lightest model (M1SL) but it is noticeably stiffer. After having ridden a Giant TC1, Ridley, Orbea Orca and Cervelo Soloist Carbon, the Leopard is as stiff as the Cervelo and handles better than any of the other bikes. It isn't a harsh ride, but it is very responsive. This is not a heavy bike by any stretch though, with Sram Force, Reynolds carbon wheels, aluminum bars, stem and seatpost and a heavy seat it is ~16 pounds, maybe a little less. Being a larger bike, that's right on par with the Cervelo and Orbea.
Here is a link to Leopard's website- http://www.leopardcycles.com/home.php
The frame and fork retails for $2550, I am selling it for $1800. That's an $850 savings after 4 months use.
I will also sell the complete bike minus wheels for $2500. It is a great deal considering everything that comes with the bike is worth much more than the additional $800.
The complete bike will include the following:
