having ridden both the ashton and leeson 24", the 'feel' on the leeson is so much nicer. It has that lively , bouncy feel that the ashton doesn't!
plus as a streety/trials rider, i put lots of random wierd stresses on my bike and it being steel just helps it last longer.
i went for 380mm chainstays, +25mm bb, 74 headangle, 1030mm
but if you are going for the scaled down toxsin and going for a 24" 'pure' trials bike. go alu :ermm: but something more streety , steel...hehe
that said something like a scaled down echo pure, U6, 380 stays, 72.5 headangle, 1040-1050 wb, wouldn't bad at satisfying both camps.
