Get a motorbike, or into trackdays, your parents will be encouraging you back out on your trials bikes!

Get out and practice on your bike.

I was always pretty lucky, my dad likes trials so thought it was cool that I was into bikes in general. His love of fast cars has passed on to me too, which is far more expensive than bikes..

I must get my DMR put together.

How cheap?!

Still don't understand.

quarter of an hour till it ends and still only a tenner

http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....q=sc&cat=13 go to upload image, should be pretty straightforward, although I've not used the gallery on here...

Have you got a pic? Aren't they standard canti mounts then?

How about day glow yellow like Jamie Bestwick's BMX? Looks ace with the yellow rims/bars/cranks etc

The pics don't work for me mate.

They're Magura 'Evolution' adaptors that you need mate. Have tartybikes not got them?

I think it's a preference thing, so see if you can ride both and see what you prefer. One may ultimately feel more 'right' for you. Although I like 20's and 26's so you may end up wanting both! I do use the my 26'' jump/street/everything else bike more than my Monty though (when it's not in pieces in my garage...).

Out of intrest did you buy that built like that or build it yourself mate..? I ask cos my mate had one almost exactly the same that I think he traded in at Leisure Lakes.

No, didn't go to the worlds sadly, my mate picked them up for me. The lad in the Ibex leaflet on the left got me my Monty, they were hard to come by back in '96. It's a classic now...

Some more pics on this thread for you all http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....60&start=60 To be honest it still feels pretty light to ride, I've just been out on it. The front brake is utter crap though, I've tried to bleed it but I think it just needs a new brake and wheel. Forgot to say, thanks to the moderators/admin's for approving me as a full member

1994 or 1995 Monty Catalogue. Check out the adjustable height seat on the 221! The front cover Anyone remember Ibex's?? '96 Worlds programme Inside the back cover Cheers

It weighs 23.3lbs (10.59kg), with that heavy Odyssey seat and clamp and DX flats, and some incredibly heavy bar bungs! Thanks for all the comments chaps I've got some more pics of old school stuff but I'll put them on the old school thread in the main forum.

Satin white would be cool.

It looks ok for it's age doesn't it?

Thanks for the welcome

Hello This is my 1st post here (to get permission to post elsewhere...). I'm Paul, I've got a very (very, very..) old 1996 Monty 221 X Lite mod which is well used and abused but still works and while other bikes come and go I seem to still have my Monty so it must be good. The wheels are a bit bent and the brakes don't seem what they used to be but I'll get them sorted. Currently trying to get back into trials so not as good as I used to be. I've rode jumps and stuff on my mountain bike more lately. I'm 25 soon so probably older than most of you... Paul
