Joe 90 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Right this is probably going to make a lot of you sigh with frustration at this topic but the bottom line is i'm after some advice.I've been riding an onza t-mag but thought i would try a big boys bike so built up a czar (pictured).I also got my grubby mitts on an old leeson clear 660 which has become my next little project.So here's my problem, no need to have 3 trials bikes as well as a kona kilauea. So do I sell the ever-so-long czar and pursue my leeson project, or do I forget the (much shorter) leeson.I have literally only ridden the czar up and down the drive. The long geo felt strange and i'm not sure i could get along with it, which may answer my question. Not ridden the leeson yet.I just wondered if any one else had ridden two bikes with similar shapes and what they thought, especially when moving from 20" to 26".Thanks for you're help.

Tomm Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 How tall are you? Unless you're really small, you'll most likely get used to the length of the Czar, but it might take a few rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisss Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I think it depends on what you ride; if you ride street then go for the leeson, but if you're partial to a bit of natural then keep the czar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe 90 Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I'm 5"10 and long arms seem to run in my family!My original plan when i got the leeson was simply to restore it to its former glory as a project and pass it on to a proud owner but i seem to have got attached to it.I'm more a street fan but why does the longer geometry suit natural?cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peperami Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 (edited) Id keep the czar mate, but thats just me. You can ride either street or natural fine on a long bike. Rocks, logs, concrete... they're all obstacles after all. Edited March 31, 2008 by Peperami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echo-Scott Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I would keep the czar because you already have it built up and you could get used to it once you have had a few rdes on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe 90 Posted April 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I just had a look at that video where you break your wrists, who are your so called mates!? I can't believe they just stand there watching as you writhe around in agony.I know how painful it is to break both wrists at the same time too. ouch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
