Ben Geary Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Yeah, you will be able to send back of something goes wrong with it. Just cost abit of cash to post it, My friend has just brought a Freshproducts 24" Exact same Geo as the Ashton ED Tongue frame.Todge done a real good job in it. I'd recomend Freshproducts or Leeson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Well the 24" Leesons seem strong, but then quite a few of them have broken. If you're in the UK, it's easy enough to have Clive fix them and send them back, but if you're in Oz it's not so easy. The FreshProducts ones might be OK, but they're completely unproven as yet. And the Curtises are not indestructable either, and they're a lot more expensive.So it's a hard one. I'd go for a Leeson I think. If you're an "average" rider it should hold up fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todge Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Ill try and help make your decision a bit easier.I'm unable to build FP frames until next summer (Uni constraints, other work etc).I've had both the Curtis and Leeson frame previously, so Ill try to help you out a bit. The overall build quality of the Curtis is better in my opinion, and I also reckon they are stronger/can be made stronger, but, the price does reflect this too.Where as the Leesons have been known to break a fair bit, this is likely to be due to the fact that they are more widespread throughtout the trials world.So, I've not really helped at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
