Leader x Micheal Chacon = The Hurricane

Another Leader Bikes post today!
Yesterday I found this very blurry pic (which I tried to upgrade in Photoshop, but this was the best I could do...) on the 5th Floor's blog.
Michael Chacon is one of THE most friendly guys I've ever met and this is the prototype of his soon to come signature frame at Leader Bikes, called the Hurricane.
He wanted it to be still based on track frame instead of a huge bmx. It's not my cup of tea, but I'm stoked for the kid that he's getting his own frame!
Here are some specs I stole from the 5th Floor:
  • Fits up to 50c tyres
  • Fits 26″ but apparently Leader have a 26″ specific frame coming soon
  • Dropouts to be changed
  • Looks like an integrated headset
  • TRK geometry, but without the spider gusset
  • “Bike is solid as hell loving it so far”
  • Named ‘The Hurricane’ after Mike’s huge big spins!
