Thats nice, just built my old levelboss up temporarily while the leeson gets fixed. Is that the long one? Andrew

got A in maths, B in physics and C in further maths, still got into loughborough, going into rutherford halls i think, 25th of sept. not long now!! Andrew

I'm going there!! can't wait, doing automotive engineering, and im in rutherford halls i think. Hope to ride with with u guys sometime! Andrew

a pint of water when i get in and 4 weetabix. u need a strong bladder though, hehe Andrew

yes, i am bricking it!! need ABB to get into loughborough!! anyone else going there, i hope theres a good street scene around there!, thats IF i get there!! oh God!! Andrew

Twice on sat, but i aint that bothered, i know u can sidehop higher, but that leeson was a beast for the high jump, getting all emotional just thinking about it. andrew

got any stills of the sidehop comp danny?? Andrew

hello all, gutted isnt the word!! All i did was a bunny hop! to be fair, there was a small dent where it broke. What makes me even more gutted is the fact that i havnt spent any money on the bike in over a year, i was that happy with the bike, loved the ride, hadnt broken anything and the build is perfect for me. How many people can say that about their bike? and if they do, how long is it before they change something? Anyway, as for repairs, if clive can do something then i will get it repaired, if he can't then i guess its new frame time, but i refuse to buy a deng frame! even though i had a ride on stecarra's GU in the demo and still kicked ass in the sidehop comp! hehe Best get on the phone to clive then...... Andrew

not forgetting the few 20" leesons. mine's fairly light and as for geo, u get what u want. -Andrew

Advertising?

Awesome vids. that ankle break looked so painful. Whats the name/artist of the music on the bail vid? Cheers, Andrew

i had the same problem, the cranks need to be right up to the cups, so keep tightening them, with a long allen key, ride a bit then tighten it, it will b right eventually. -Andrew

great pics, i love the last 1, i really wanted to do something similar in richmond (n yorks) today at the river, but my leeson is too precious. -Andrew

why did u post the same pic twice? -Andrew

Thanks to every one for an awesome weekend!! The highlights for me were: Sexy Mikes fancy dress, when he walked out for the first time and paraded infront of every one, flexing and stretching!! hilarious. It was also great to see John Peacock, Barbara and Neil Raven riding (Neil hadn't ridden tykes in about 8 yrs!!) The football on saturday night was so funny, with waynes complete disreard for his own safty and robbies Wasp!! What a nutter. And Ali C, what a footballer!! Walker, Mike and Wayne know what i mean!! Someone (not mentioning any names (Arleys Angels ) put cow poo under Ali's car door handle!!, which i fell for!!, twice :$ , what an idiot!! The comp on sunday was really good, i was knackered and still am now! Hpe to see some pics of the weekend up soon. We need more weekends like this!! -Andrew

Cant wait for tomorrow, and sunday, see you all there!!! you all better come in fancy dress!! -Andrew

I can help you make it into a team if u want Iolo!!! Yorkshire lads are best!! -Andrew

the paint is semi transparent, like a coloured laquer, if u screw the tpa all the way out, the plastic spacer things and the tpa itself just push out, And Josh, the dent aint huge, justa a bit unsightly, but it hasnt affected the frame strength and im riding the bike better than ever now, it ride absolutely awesome!! -Andrew

pic doesnt work mate edit: nice bike, i like the build, but im not too keen on the tmag frame but meh, dont u think trials bikes always look good from that behind camera angle?? -Andrew

hes not going, hes going to the YMSA instead oh, and the leesons dont do email, well rarely, ur much better giving clive a ring on 01933 314285 hes really good to tlk to. -Andrew Keep the comments coming!

no hes still riding, on an MBK now, hes also got a rear disk and some new rims, (pimp white), he had a ridiculous spare parts bin, so he sold me a bikes worth of bits, all apart from the king hub, which i bought second hand. -Andrew

lol, y did u have to quote the whole post Joe (cheers for the comment though) Well i like to keep my bikes clean of stickers other than the original frame stickers, tom put the maxxis stickers on, theres one on the other side aswell, ive never been bothered to take them off. the forks are ugly, and i dont like the stupid threaded steerer and top cap, but they're cracked, so they wont last that much longer hopefully I must appologise for having a really gay, ugly frame protector, but the tubes are butted and lightweight, so they are not very dent resistant, and i ride comps, so i want to keep it nice. so -Andrew

haha, how did u get it to stand up on its own?? my bikes arent that well trained! -Andrew

I am aware that ive posted some of this before, but ive also got a 26" now. Here are some more detailed pics of my bike, so enjoy : My Leeson Clear 505 - u may well have seen it before, ive now got onza carbon bars (28") and a monty stem. geo - wb 1037, chainstays 363, 50mm bb rise comments welcome. The tensioner on the leeson allows the 360 dropout, pretty simple fixed tensioner, but it works a treat. Clive Leeson's brazing, people have been discussing brazing on steel frame such as this in the topic on Michael Singleton's bike, clive has perfected the art and the semi transparent paint on this frame shows the welds as a different colour (the brass underneath). My homemade TPA on the leeson, works a treat, and ive had it for nearly a year now. My 26" Echo Control, just bought second hand off Tom Rigg, rides really nice, its nothing special, but looks nice, comments welcome..... Cheers, -Andrew
