Leader x Kareem Shebab = the Pharaoh

Friday I posted about Michael Chacon's new to come signature frame at Leader, but yesterday I found this post at Prolly, that also announced the new to come signature frame of Loose Nuts Cycles' Kareem Shebab.
It will be called the Pharaoh and I love the leopard print on this one!
I know I've always said that I won't switch to the 26" side, but more and more frames are coming out that just are too good to be true...
So if I can get my hands on this one, or a 26" frame that looks as good as this one, I think I'll be riding 26" in the future.

This is the info I found at Prolly about the frame:
The Leader Pharaoh is the 26” specific frame which was designed by Leader Bike and Kareem Shehab of Loose Nuts Cycles (www.loosenutscycles.com). For the first time in FGFS we have teamed up with not only a sponsored rider, but a sponsored rider with a mechanical engieering degree to design a bike with us. The end result is a bike that has one of the most responsive and strongest geometries in the industry.The Pharaoh features our very own chainstay gusset design (International Patent Pending) which is able to clear a 2.5 tire. Additionally, the bike has the shortest wheelbase of any FGFS bike as well as some of the best toe clearance for barspins. The geometry is compact, responsive, and sure to be a hit with the 26" fixed crowd.
Yup, I want one!
