mafu26 Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 this picture doesn't do it justice. me and kev realised there were quite a few trends hidden within the bike... random patches of pink, an uncontrollable sticker addiction being satisfied, dents, stratches, dog poo on both tyres, the list goes on... if there was a bike trials museum this bike defo wouldn't go unnoticed! mike can now silence anyone who says they can't ride because of a poor set-up!fair play matey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endohopper Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 She's a beaut , especially that rear brake setup , how exactly does the booster attatch to the frame ? Is that a RooX stem ? I used to love those . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat hudson Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 one way to solve that, 26" front wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_Porter Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 oh my, i have so much respect for you mike. you getting another leeson or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Bleech Posted March 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 my leeson has cracked above the brake mount, so is been sent to clive this week for repair, respray and a few other bits Honestly it rides alright (Lewis preferred it to my leeson and Boon hated it, everyone else just laughed ) but i don't notice the low bb for street stuff (its relative anyway) plus i have 5mm extra spacers than my leeson and havea ton of cockpit room which helps. It decent on the back wheel and i could do pretty much everything i could do on my leeson and I did some new stuff. so ..yeh its all good as for the back brake, its a dna brake plate i stole off my crusier, held on with metal plate/bolts at top and zipties to stop moving side to side (ish) - gonna put jubelie clips instead of zipties though...[attachmentid=2880]oh yeah its a roox stem, fantastic stems really but dodgy colours headset i dodgy, bearings don't fit properly in cup. The tensioner is a mix of my leeson one and a dmr sts and the left hand crank kept coming loose for some reason um..thats it i thinkMike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich4130 Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Hahah i done that with a saracen frame when my ashton was being welded up for the second time.Mine was much more ghetto, the bb was so low u could balance by putting the pedal on the ground, anybody who saw it in oxford will remember....

Danny Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Considered drilling the backplate and bolting it straight to the 26" mounts? Much better than jubilee clips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boon racoon Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Considered drilling the backplate and bolting it straight to the 26" mounts?
