spaceman Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 But not all lesson frames have the same geometry? It's custom.I would get a 609 if I had the money, well maybe next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash-Kennard Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 I think he's stopped making them now.seriously? does that make mine an antique now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 i think he had too much going on to be making frames, the waiting time was pretty long and the man has a full time job and a family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe' Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 seriously? does that make mine an antique now?yes , dont sell it.will be great for a biketrials museum in years to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 I think my mate probably got the final one. And the other mate who sorted it out was saying he likes doing stuff with cars, plus there's more money in that. I don't really know much but the waiting time for the last frame was pretty stonking! My Triton came in half the time, and it spent a month at the powder coaters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 a biketrials museumThat'd be brilliant.No-one's stupid enough to buy a frame, and keep it in a box to preserve it - so you go in, and there's just these absolutely battered bits of metal sitting in pristine glass cases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgieporgie Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 I have a 609, rides amazing but it was custom geo... similar too inspired with slightly longer stays.It actually sidehops better than my gu mod, and backwheels better than my k-sas stock.If you have the chance to get one... DO IT! Although clive has stoped making them now...The build quality is amazing!George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Punk Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 I've got a Leeson 24". Lovely frames if you can hold of them (as long as the GEO is right for you). Pity he has stopped making them, I hope he will continue his after service though. I might not need it that much now but for others its handy.From what he told me before, Kris was getting into racing Hondas, I think it was civics. So he had been making parts for them. Understandable, make the parts for what your son enjoys really. Still a shame though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceman Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Yeah, I hope he starts making them in near future. It was my dream frame though, still is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
