Axel's MX Leader: Bikefanclub.com

I came into Axel's old MX Leader with Caloi decals from the Motorola team. It's something like 61.5 x58 and has a wheelbase longer than the road to Luz Ardiden. Overall it's in fine condition and lord knows that these bikes are going to out last us all. If I were getting a new lugged Merckx I'd opt for the Corsa 'cause this bike is overkill for anyone but the clydesdales amongst us. Still, a GREAT ride. We had some good weather last week so I went out with my wife at the end of a long day, she on her maiden voyage on her new Kirk (wond'rful bike!), and me on Axel's rig. This bike is so stable and holds the line so true that on the hills I was able to help the little lady holding one hand on the bars, the other on the back of her jersey (yes, she asked for help and around here there's no shame in askin'...the road is going up when it's not going up, so it's not like you have much choice). The ride is just wonderful and never have I been on bike that descends better. Axel is one tall glass of water but I like my bikes big and this one fits the bill perfectly. I am grateful to my pal "mavic" who passed it along. I'll put a picture in the gallery. The Caloi decals add that odd, special mojo too.
