The MXL is awesome, but oh that Moots. So worthy.

Wow!! That is cool! Congrats Peter! You're the best! I have a set of wheels with a "Chisholm's custom wheels" sticker also and they are the best wheels I have ever owned (keep in mind that I am no spring chicken at 65) Congrats again Peter!

That is a sweet bike. I love the tradition that is steeped in the that machine. Would love to get my hands on an MX Leader too one day.

As Douglas Brooks used to say...that bike may have equals, but nothing will ride better.

Well said and quoted.

OP's bike, to my aged eye, looks better than any new build with high drop and 'bespoke' components: A bike ridden by someone who's ridden many miles and makes changes in their gear, however against the trend, it works for them. Nice piece, and not done often enuf, imo.

That custom Moots is definitely one of the nicest, most wanted (in my book) bike i've ever seen.
