Jonny Jones Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 I did get some Pashley forks with it, but the riding position was so low and uncomfortable, so I put my trusty Marzocchi MX Comp Air's on, and its bloody lush. I believe this bike is more 'me'. Seems ive just been experimenting for the last 7 or so years with what kind of setup I like :D Sorry if im not allowed to post pics directly into this sub-forum, but im dead chuffed with it! Feel free to move to bike pics section. Comments? (Y) Jonny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialkid Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 well i suppose u like it, its ok but i really dont like that colour coding im afraid, but its my oppinion only. If it was say long, low and silver (Y)" . na only joking but id prefer it in Black myself but the frame, as all leesons do looks sexual, just not a fan of the colour, or those pedals. enjoy!

You gain more fluidity with the sus when your rebounding off things onto other obstacles. Front taps are still doable... erm, they just weigh a tiny bit more than most rigids, but its summot u learn to like. I have, at least. Thanks! Jonny.

bennyboy2005 Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 That is a sweet bike mate (Y) I love the colour (Lush) Also i like the Suspension, I might try suspension on my ashton because it might be a bit more comfortable because i'v been riding a jump bike for the last 3 years so i will try suspension. :D Anyway that is a SEXY leeson.

Well, to me they're not. Other people, when riding my bike, might think otherwise. Only a fraction heavier than, say, Tuf Guys. Plus ive been using suspension for about 6 months now, maybe more?
