Skoze Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) Afternoon sportsfans!Been off the bike for 7 months now, mainly due to not really getting on with the D15C very well, deals going tits-up, and not really having the motivation to ride. So i've jumped on the 24" bandwagon! All's going well so far, absolutely love the frame and the ride of it, just need to learn how to become a bicycle extremist again! (anyone riding a 24 in London on the 1st, prepare to be quizzed for advice!)Looks a bit mad, but i like things that are different, and the ride is AWESOME!The troll is still going after 3 years on my bikes! Spec is as follows:Leeson 609 Bump (1035, +25, 74*, 385)Inspired pivotal seat + postFattysOutland (?) Steel HeadsetAzonic Shorty 90x15* stemAzonic Double Wall 2.5" bars6 year old Gusset b*****d gripsMiddleburns (One 'burn one SR Suntour atm - i'm that cool) with Leeson bash and 22T sprocketDMR V8sFront Chris King ISO/ Rhyno Lite/ Tioga Comp XRear Chris King ISO HD/ Rhyno Lite/ DMR Moto DiggerTrialtech 17T sprocket + carbon spacersRohloff TensionerFront 200mm Hope Mono Trial (Too big, will put on a smaller rotor when money allows)Rear Avid Ultimate lever and arms, Onza 4Bolt-Vee adaptors, Clarks cable and Inspired padsBig thanks to the Tarts for the top quality service, and Matt Burrows for the frame Just gotta learn how to ride the thing!Matt Edited February 2, 2009 by Marvin the Martian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NVWOCI WVS Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 That looks pretty nice, Matt. Good job. Not ghetto enough to be a proper 24" leeson though How does it feel with that bar/stem? Looks really low to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks really low to me.Aye, i'm gonna have to get at least mildly good before things get ghetto, otherwise i'll look like a tit who's just destroyed his bike Bar + stem isn't bad at all! Doesn't pull up massively easily, but it's by no means difficult! When you're on the backwheel, all is good on the hood, as they say in the trade.

davey1991 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 The fattys and the frame look brand new?Looks perfect, jus perfect.Bike porn material? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 This bike is a dream it rides so nice with the gentle clicking of the chris king in the back ground, The head tube is MAHOOSIVE but has a "nice" paint job that Andy (ANDREX) hate's lol the geer ratio is perfect, the brakes are sharp as a razor blade ( good use of english there ) It rides so smooth, weirdly enough Simpson can ride the leeson smooth , unlike what he was doing to his BMX. the bike is a master piece , Skoze you have done oyur self proud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Shrewsbury Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) I wondered if it was burrows old frame, because of the colour. Looks much better without the leeson stickers. Get a thomson 90/15 stem on it, believe me it will be worth it. Edited February 2, 2009 by John Shrewsbury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrex Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 has a "nice" paint job that Andy (ANDREX) hate's lol I never said I hated it, I just said that it looked like they couldn't be assed to paint it properly, with the marblyish effect.
