isitafox Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 That looks like a trials bike built by someone who's never seen a trials bike before 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharn Posted March 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Haha yeah.. certainly not a world comps bike.. but i bet it;s nice to mess about on.. Just thought it might be interesting to some.. that freewheel 28t macneil bash ring adaption is pretty different! Lower the stem and i bet it rides alright.

sharn Posted March 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Sorry, i presumed people would find their way to the pictures of him making this.. but just incase anybody didnt and might find it interesting.. Here's the link to the flickr for the fabrication pictures.. Never seen anything like that bash guard mod. Not exactly sure of the benefit, ive never ran a front freewheel myself? Agreed it's not the most beautiful thing ever, i actually think the choice of finish lets it down the most but thought some of the design and fabrication elements were quite unique..

ben_travis Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) that crank / freewheel set-up is epic Edited March 16, 2015 by ben_travis 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 that crank / freewheel set-up is epic Jesus yea! What an idea! I take it thats a BMX sprocket? Would have been cool to see a sprung tensioner in that position rather than a push up and tighten one. Cool wee bike, whatever its for...

Mark W Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 I wonder if those Tensile mounts were used in an attempt to make up for spacing the mounts out too wide. It looks like the cylinders are set about as far in as they can go. Bashring setup is certainly 'different'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 wouldn't landing on the bash ring put all the strain into the freewheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross McArthur Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Looks like a flat land street trials bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharn Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 .. chuck four pegs on them monsterous dropouts and get to scuffin round the playground Looks like a pretty fun bike.. bet it's nice and solid and satisfying just to nibble about on little stuff and dial s-m-o-o-t-h on the tech line.. B) Remember that Leeson clive made with a peg? Who's was that?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Can't for the life of me remember who ended up with it, but I do remember trying to buy it (or at least buy the pegs) to run on mine. Ended up on someone's garage floor awaiting a rebuild that never came, don't think they really knew the significance of it... One day i'm going to open a Leeson museum in my shed. They were fantastic. Flawed in so many ways, but brilliant - bikes don't come like that anymore. Good to see you back by the way, mate!

porn* Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 That Leeson is currently being repaired for me to let you know.and yes the peg is still intact 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Awesome news! I remember Lawnmowerman had it, then it kinda disappeared off the face of the earth for a while after I tried to get my grubby mitts on it - glad to hear it's in good hands now!
