JonPace Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Heres my new bike got her sorted on saturday, rides like a dream. Got a 1050 wheelbase and a specially lower seat for better standover height. Everything else is standard leeson, insanely stiff. Curtis Forks, 180mm Trial Disc, King rear Wheel etc...

Mark W Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice bike there Mr. Jon :D I don't know how any bike can be called stiff with a spindly-ass seat-post like that, but I'll take your word for it :D Looks really good though ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisa Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Really liking that ;) Sounds like it would ride pretty well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wally Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Does look very nice ;), how much longer and lower is it compared to a 'standard' leeson? Definatley looks better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonPace Posted April 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Does look very nice ;), how much longer and lower is it compared to a 'standard' leeson? Definatley looks better. ← well usually the longest is 1045 but I think my forks have made a significant difference to that. It's 2 inches lower than normal which makes it look/ride better.

Fishwog Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 I know about function over fashion etc etc, but that would be even more beautiful if you had some sort of SS tensioner on it, like a DMR seeker 2 ;) But yeah, bloody lovely bike :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Pearson Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 (edited) I will actually be on the phone to clive by the time you read this, asking if he can modify my frame to be more like that one... Savage bike dude. I don't know how any bike can be called stiff with a spindly-ass seat-post like that, but I'll take your word for it Looks really good though If you look at the seatpost in the third pic, you can actually see that its tapered (gets wider at the bottom) which in fact is a lot better for stress transfer and so that seattube is actually a lot stronger/stiffer than an average one.
