Hi, few of us out in Woking 2nite, anybody else who can/wants to then head down. Finally getting out on me new bike :blink: Hopefully see some of u later M@

Dont b silly, just get a leeson.Mine arrived friday, finished building it up at work today and its bloody awesome 2 ride!!!! Wouldnt even consider anything else now Pics to follow soon :) M@

Gave hope a ring from work yesterday....hubs due early April, and for anybody who deals with Hope...£65+vat trade... :blink:" Looks well sweet and should be damn good, though I still havent had trouble with my 2yr old XC... I know what Im getting soon! M@

ROFL Nicely put mate! In all fairness, as has been put already, I doubt there are too many LBS in israel that stock trials-specific bikes and components.For managing to get a sweet bike put together we gotta give him some credit! That and the fact Im lovin' your old-skool forks :D M@

Just curious, whats the rough price on these bad boys, and what kinda wheelbase they come out at? I mite be swayed to build up a mod bike if its a decent price.... They do look sweet, they reliable+not prone 2 cracking? Ta M@

oh my god you're the only other person Ive seen who's still running P-Bones!!! :o They rock, mine are still goin strong, in silver but very scratched :"> Nice bike, dont think it needed a whole new topic just for the seat though >< M@

Went to NASS bout 3 years ago and had a bloody ace time! My family lives bout 20mins from the site so even though Im other side of country now will try to get down there for the weekend, if others from surrey area heading that-a-way If its anything as good as it was last time I was there, will be bloody awesome! Lookin 4ward to it now :- M@

I got myself a set of Club Roost 2D pedals 3 years ago at the bike show for £25 :-" ....they still goin strong now, shortly to be put on my leeson when it arrives!!! Very sweet+smooth, mega grippy and generally pimp. though as people have said, have fun tryin 2 find any now! Lovely pedals, wouldnt change them for the world! The bearings aint quite as smooth now as used 2 be, bit bent and scratched but still better than any others Ive ridden with Lovely, just lovely.... M@ :)

Candy apple red? Another idea....crap Im useless at making decisions!! Gona ring Clive in bit to find out what colours he can do, then make a final decision tomorrow... Midnite blue with black 'burns, red hope hubs+headset sounds sweet and is favourite rite now, if can be done. I've had a white rocket frame for years Tomm, so u cant complain B) Argh this is difficult :) M@

Are there really only limited colours? I dont want anything metallic etc, and clive told me I could have anything I wanted...... Ah well, will talk to him+see. I thought orange might be a lil full-on, and if u've seen a Cove bike in orange u'll know its pretty bright!!! Anyone seen this year's Kona Stinky? Thats a sweet colour, radar green. Toying with the idea of that now aswell >< Looks like midnight blue seems a favourite atm, am thinking with either black or titanium colour graphics :) As for the minivan project, its kinda on been on hold with uni and now work taking up all time. 1979 Austin minivan, still mostly in bits at the moment. Will get sum piccies up when I can work out how 2!!! Ta for the help+comments M@

Ive got a Leeson 660 coming from clive soon, but I still need to decide the colour. Before its never been an issue, cos most bikes come with whatever colour the manufacturer decides. Now I get complete choice, and cant for the life of me decide >< I know loadsa people have them in the usual black/grey colours, and I want something a little different. Been toying with the idea of the orange colour Cove use on their bikes (yes it is bright, thats the idea!!) but Im not sure if it'd suit the frame :D Other strong possibilities are midnight blue (to match my minivan project) or white with black like on my rocket frame. Any opinions people? I know its a stoopid topic, but I cant bloody decide!!! Ta M@

Or u could save and get a Giro Xen....which imho is the most gorgeous helmet in the entire world. I got mine on order through work in matt black, and damn they lush :P If u havent seen one in the matt black colour then ur missing out. It is expensive at £80 but much nicer than the semi mx i reckon....(Y) M@

On the subject of Leeson's....Ive got one on order now 2!! Finalised it the other day after a long chat with Clive.He really is a top bloke, knows how to find out exactly what u want and what'll suit u best. Im being boring and getting a pretty standard 1010, cos my ol' rocket is 1020 with heeeuuuuuuuuugggggeeeee rear stays - 415mm!!! Gotta wait a month or so aswell, which gives me just enough time 2 decide on what colour 2 get it! Im toying with the idea of Cove green, or a nice candy orange. Then again could just be boring and go for matt black like most frames (Y) Piccies in 4-5 weeks! Btw...Clive recomended getting square taper bb over isis, opinions on that? I know the beaerings are bigger in a square taper, and as long as u keep them tight they shouldnt round, but is it worth changing to isis or not?? Sorry to steal topic >< The XL sounds sweet mate, will have 2 get all the leeson owners out for a ride one day M@

We (Evans Cycles) sell decent insurance, little bit more than E&L at £149.99 for upto £1500 cover, but u do get a free datatag which we'll fit for u. As with the other, u need a pretty hefty lock to go with it, but thats to be expected! Linky List of locks It also covers helmet, shoes and clothing etc, so is pretty smart. All done through another company, but all the feedback so far has been really good. Hope this helps (Y) M@

Ohhh u buggers >< Ive just left Staffs uni (stafford campus) for this year, but will be back nxt september for the final year. was bit busy for trials so never really made it up 2 stoke with everyone. Am down in Woking in surrey though this year workin in a bike shop, so gona get bike sorted and get out riding again :ermm: anyone around this area wants 2 ride, pm me or sumthin M@
