walker Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 (edited) Firstly, this is not just a "hey, look at my new frame" thread, so please dont close it. Some of you may have seen a frame like this before. Its the Clear 505, a mod frame and its only the third one to be made. It features Reynolds 725 steel tubes and the geometry is personalised.This is my frame that i collected today and it rides like a dream. The steel tubes makes the frame much more responsive than a regular aluminium frame and this allows you to get the power that you put into a move into air/distance.The frame also features the trademark 360 dropouts. This means that the chain needs a small tensioner under the chain. This, in my opinion is better than the usual sliding rear wheel, because the wheel is in a fixed position which means that you only have to set ur brakes up once. The tensioner works very well and silently. This is an ideal 20" frame for comps, the geometry on mine is based on my old Koxx levelboss long and, although i havn't weighed it yet, it is no heavier. For the amount of craftsmanship and attention to detail that is put into this frame, it is a bargain at £400 and it looks the dogs.What do you think of it?-Andrew Edited February 5, 2006 by walk_aw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan Shaw Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Does look very nice and props for buying something different/unique Why is it more responsive than an aluminium frame though? I wouldn't be suprised if its heavier than a Levelboss either Anyway, nice bike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walker Posted February 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 The steel used is very high quality and has a high tensile strength, and in general steel is more stiff than aluminium. This means that it flexes less when you put a lot of power into it, this is what makes it more responsive.Stan, it is probably ver similar in weight to my level boss, the steel is thin, so it is certainly not bomb proof, and tubes are butted to reduce weight, overall, Leeson frames are very light. I picked up Chris Leeson's 24" today, it was featherlight!!-Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
