Bottom Line:
First thing is that i have the Ryan Leech sinature frame and fork. a complete build is not available, and there is no team in it's title. it is different to the team trials which is aluminium frame and fork and is not reynolds 853 tubing cro mo. so yea. i am posting a review on that one, so i hope you are now aware of the difference. i am a trials rider. thats not one of the choices though. being a trials rider, the frame and forks need to be light and strong. the bike lived up to it. it's angles are spot on and with the right set up it's a beast. as trials is not a very popular sport, it's hard to get info on trials set up. i compete and so far, all is good.
