Tomm Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Looks pretty cool, but I can't help but thinking that the back end is going to fall off. It just looks far too skinny to me! P.S. What's that tensioner? It just looks like a bit of wood. Does it work?EDIT: They should totally call it the leeson Clear 10sixty (and give it a 1060 wheelbase, obviously).

RobinJI Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Would be kinda cool. But its 1065 already, and I'm not sure how happy rich would be about sliceing 5mm off his frame having finaly got it!The tensioners a block of polyurithane I think, but I thought it looked like wood too. haha.Some rather over exposed shots of it being riden: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Am I the only person who thinks that that tube looks like it will absolutely rape ankles and inside of the legs ?looks a little better with a rider - but i still think an old shape with that geo = win.

RobinJI Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 I do love the old shapes too, but its always nice to see someone like leeson really doing something new and fresh, and to be fair, whever or not a traditional design would be better, rich's bike is just plain cool.I think the ankle rapage is reduced by the fact the frames sooo low that part of the toptube spends its life between your cranks out of the way of your ankles.
