The Foamoi Refresher Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 (edited) new bike, after a long wait, with a few new bits on the way already, went out for a ride this afternoon, and its awesome, bring on the 24 tour EDIT. a couple of new bits arrived today, so i thought id take the chance and go for a bit of a brakeless ride while i was changing over the brakes, it was pretty fun, but damn sketchy as ive never ridden brakeless before. maybe in a couple of months i may do it for more than an afternoon. but for now, ultimate rear and SD7 front V;s with inspired pads are f**king awesome. new tyres also and the thing is so much lighter first pi of when i got it monday, second = brakeless, third is now.

Revolver Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Looks cool That upside down brake must be a fanny to set up with a booster. You know, I think I used to own your old leeson. It was the same geometry as an ET24 i think. Aener on here has it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, I think I used to own your old leeson. It was the same geometry as an ET24 i think. Aener on here has it now. ah right, was it kinda gunmetal grey with orange stickers on it? was a lurvly bike, but i just couldnt get on with it very well, and i got that just after selling my ET24 i think what pissed me off what that it killed my hand pretty bad, and just a little fed up with too many injuries so again took time out . . . thankfully i havent had to do anything to the rear maggie yet, as the pervious owner left it on, with the rear wheel intact while it was in transit, but i think the rear mag is coming off anyway, as ive always been more of a V type of guy, and thankfully its got V mounts on the top of the seatstays too, so that should be nice and easy to setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 (edited) Hmm... Well, it was black when I had it. I don't think it had stickers on though, except for a DJ bunny sticker on the front. It also had 4-bolt mounts on the top of the seatstays.

The Foamoi Refresher Posted April 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Glad you like it mate, he is so sad to see it go lol. what bits you ordered? yes man, its awesome, been out for three rides in two days already, got some new tyres, lighter ones as im not a very heavy rider, got some avid ultimates too, as ive always been a massive V brake guy, some new pads and prob looking for something a little longer on the stem side, although it bunny hops and manuals like a dream already, so i may still stick the this bar/stem combo . . . Jealous. I need another one, so badly. you damn well do man!!! what you got at the minute?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 you damn well do man!!! what you got at the minute?? Was persuaded to get a BMX (which i had to sacrifice the Leeson for). Biggest f**king mistake ever... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest f**king mistake ever... gutted man, so whats going on with the tour this year?? you still coming ??? getting another 24?? you know its the right choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Yeah dude i'll be there no matter what! Hopefully on another 24, if not it'll be the bmx if i still have it by then, and if i'm bike-less i'll be there for shits and giggles, and to keep Charlie company on the walks to and from spots where he'll inevitably get left behind again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
