how come the front end of your bike doesn't look like it's going low? how can I make the 2013 Leader 722 Heritage Edition Lo like that?

this is the 2012 year model therefore it is just a 722 heritage and not a heritage lo...
the geometry of the frame is different on the lo

Thanks!
I was planning to make this bike street-legal in Switzerland. (fines up to 600$ for brakeless) But then i couldn't find fitting brake levers. So I let them on for a while. And I thought they might confuse the police... ^^
In the meantime I've removed the brake though and I'm now riding with a front brake!

I wish my first build looked like this! Have you considered taking a few links off the chain?

I wish I had the balls to ride brakeless with that kind of gearing. Sick bike man.
