Leeson Clear 660thumper

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).

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:

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. (Y)
