spunkey_monkey_boy Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 yeah it is sweet. the cranks look a bit big and bulky compared to the rest of the bike which has got really clean lines, maybe consider a set of silver burns as the next upgrade? otherwise it is sweet as... more importantly though, how does it ride???

biketrialler Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Gorgeous, I always planned that if I got a Leeson it'd be dark green :ermm: Hopefully i'll get to see it in the flesh on a ride some day soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicH_87 Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 loving it, i was gonna go dark green on my bike so i'm glad someone did it eventually... i agree on black burns though, i understand why you would want to avoid obvious scratches but silver will stand out too much and look odd, imo :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Tom Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Nice, that looks cool. It seems more and more people are going for front vee brakes on Leeson 360 or reversed mount Pashley tvseries forks. The colour is good IMO except looks almost the same as your garden seats,table washing line! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Motivator Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 I like that a lot! When u said bottle green, I thought "mmm, dunno" but It looks really nice!!! Different too! :P" :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne-king Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 (edited) shame it doesn't ride as nice as it looks....... :P hehe Edit: but get rid of those skanky truvativs as quick as you can! i'm tempted to give you my burns just to make it look right! :P Edited January 27, 2005 by Wayne-king Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
