Loved the video dude! Not a single black and white clip or fish eye lens and still made me feel a bit EMOtional… Great riding as always!

Being away from Riding for around 15 years and looking at bikes they are way more expensive now.take a look at tarty bikes and there mod bikes.just a different story now.nice bikes don’t get me wrong..these  bikes looks like a Halfords x rated dirt jumper 

I don't get why Clean did this bike now.   The current market in street is saturated, they are already so many brands present. And here in Germany, the used market is full with cheap, almost new Inspired, Extension, Tms, Canyon, Ozonys.... I guess they are around 100 ads...   It is nice too see they want to expand, but I am not sure it is the right period for that. Wish them the best though!   But to me, current brands shall reduce their offer and concentrate on a few models, with a lot of interchangeable parts. I saw a video recently of one guy trying to build a Clean X3 and complaining it was the most difficult build he ever had and he sounds quite frustrated. It is hard to repair a bike with fresh parts currenly (It was easier some years ago at least), even with the amazing job of the few trial stores. Some are not available anymore. The bikes are more expensive than ever and I guess it keeps young riders away from the sport. And the current economic situation (at least here in Europe) gets worst and worst. So reducing the production costs shall be a priority to my eyes.  

After regretfully selling my 660 11+ years ago.. I always wanted another Leeson, 609 was always the preferred. From the Facebook groups, managed to pick up this frame set and have been slowly building it up (alongside a Hex, Koxx Levelboss) and it is super close to riding! Seat post is a "for now" as the diameter is 25mm and finding one that I can slam is proving difficult. Spec: Leeson 609 frame and Leeson custom disc Pashley forks Polished square taper Middleburn crankset (will have V8's in chrome pedals) Chris King ISO in pewter hubs laced to Tartybike 24" rims, green nipples (QRs will be changed to bronze) - K RAD tyres front and rear Thompson 90x10 stem and a set of Inspired Pro Risers System X 25mm post and Burgtec Cloud saddle (chromo rails!!) Brakes will be XTR rear v with carbon booster / Avid BB7 front - both with Odyssey Slick cables Have a set of Console forks as well as the Pashley steerer is short! Will have this as a bit of a collectible whilst the Hex gets the main rider treatment, but she is a piece of art!!

It is looks like ugly mix between bmx and dirt jump bike. The bar and stem choice appears like worst part to me.
