Bike: Leeson Clear 660 D15C

Type: Stock

Pros: Very stong and awesome back-up from Leeson. Rear disc (personal preference). Frames geo makes it awesome for competition and technical riding.

Cons: Weight (4.7lbs frame only, most of it in the rear end), level BB, Price (500pounds frame only, but you get what you pay for these days). Rear disc (can be problematic at times, but then so can maguras.)

What I'd Change: Raise the BB to +15mm, push the wheelbase (currently 1035mm) up to about 1050mm. Butted tubing.

Recommend? Don't buy this bike if you like doing big sidehops and taps. Buy this bike if you like doing small and technical stuff as well as being able to do some 24"/BMX style street stuff.
