spunkey_monkey_boy Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 i was talking to clive the other night about a super low and long leeson and he's said that he wouldn't want to go any lower than he has on jon's frame and doesn't want to alter the design too much because the leesons handle well the way they are, if he started rising bb's and changing the geo they wouldn't handle like leesons. he also said he like the fact that leesons look like normal bikes (ie: seat, normal double triangle etc) and for that reason i wouldn't expect to see a uci leeson. jon - that is pure sex mate, i've been looking foward to the pics since i spoke to clive. nice bike ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BONGO Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice bike there Mr. Jon :) I don't know how any bike can be called stiff with a spindly-ass seat-post like that, but I'll take your word for it :P Looks really good though (N) ← spindly ass reynolds seatpost (Y)" i love those forks on that bicycle. looks fit that machine you have there. good job. john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarshRider Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 you could ask clive to make sure it fitted if you were to buy a new frame off him as he builds it to suit you. although i dont think i could fit one enless i ran a tyre the same profile as the rim on my leeson. so if you bought second hand i would dought it!

Matt Burrows Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Looks awesome Jon (N). Thats about the length i'm thinking of having my 24". Seems like everybody is getting Leesons (Y). Fancy riding Birmingham anytime soon so I can try it before I decide on my final geometry? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, does Clive know what a Leeson handles like? Maybe he's a trials god... Is Kris Leeson still riding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe b Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 That just takes the piss :S . That has got to be the nicest street trials bike ever ever ever! Loving the kinda jam red colour. Cheers, Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Make Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Ace! It's in my opinion the best looking stock frame so far! Absolutely gorgeus. Hands down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Kris Leeson still riding? ← I totally agree with you I'd have wanted a longer frame really if I could have say 1065 wheelbase and a slightly higher BB but his jig wouldn't go any longer. Kris still rides loads yer he was out biking when I went to pick up the frame from clive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
