Anyone heard much about them? Found them whilst randomly Googling the other week and reckon the Leela AM bike looks pretty nice.

Got a sale on at the moment too, Leela frame down from £999 to £699.

Are you considering one?

I had a look but the weight put me off tbh.

looks "gangly" in that photo, prob not the best on.

read about them a few months ago on PB piece about their DH bike the Maya, same sort of response decent spec and reasonable price but comparatively heavy.

Like others have said that frame is 700g heavier than an El Guapo, 600g heavier than a Mega TR and 400g heavier than a Mega AM.

Hmmm, didn't look at the weights so never realised they were that much heavier than the competition. Wonder why that is - are they likely to be significantly stronger/tougher?
