Brettoll Posted November 8, 2024 Report Share Posted November 8, 2024 After regretfully selling my 660 11+ years ago.. I always wanted another Leeson, 609 was always the preferred. From the Facebook groups, managed to pick up this frame set and have been slowly building it up (alongside a Hex, Koxx Levelboss) and it is super close to riding! Seat post is a "for now" as the diameter is 25mm and finding one that I can slam is proving difficult. Spec: Leeson 609 frame and Leeson custom disc Pashley forks Polished square taper Middleburn crankset (will have V8's in chrome pedals) Chris King ISO in pewter hubs laced to Tartybike 24" rims, green nipples (QRs will be changed to bronze) - K RAD tyres front and rear Thompson 90x10 stem and a set of Inspired Pro Risers System X 25mm post and Burgtec Cloud saddle (chromo rails!!) Brakes will be XTR rear v with carbon booster / Avid BB7 front - both with Odyssey Slick cables Have a set of Console forks as well as the Pashley steerer is short! Will have this as a bit of a collectible whilst the Hex gets the main rider treatment, but she is a piece of art!! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt24. Posted November 9, 2024 Report Share Posted November 9, 2024 Looks great. Love you are running Chrie King's! Would have been the only upgrade I didn't do on mine back in the day I would have liked! Random question but why did you end up going for the rear QR? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colour I was after only found in QR.. looking at finding a fun bolt axle to convert it eventually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordered a race post and shim to run a pivotal in there.. not so old school but will make it less unsightly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted November 12, 2024 Report Share Posted November 12, 2024 Go for those Halo bolt up QRs to keep it tidy. I don't mind a QR lever now and then but it could look super clean with those dropouts and no lever.👌 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
