QUOTE(Bill_B @ Apr 19 2007, 09:05 AM) ←Yep phoned Curtis first, they seem really nice guys there, very knowledgable and had a lot of time for me, there is quite a price difference between a Leeson and a Curtis though, can anyone justify to me that a curtis would be almost twice the bike a Leeson would be? My intention is to buy a 23" specialized rockhopper and ride that for 6 months, then design the Leeson based on how I would change/improve the rockhopper. but a curtis isn't twice the price of the leeson...
