[Beginner trials bike]

1 hour ago, Greetings said:

Every time I get to ride a 221 (Pr or Ti) I'm amazed at how fun they are. They're not like the standard trials bike nowadays, much more balanced and easier to learn tricks on. They're also a joy to bunnyhop. I wouldn't look at the wheelbase too much as the remaining geometry characteristics of this bike make it quite unusual in a positive way.

With regards to geometry, the Ti is also going to feel much more like the "oldschool" Monty due to the "correct" stem and bar combo. The 219 has a different stem and bars which may change the character of the bike. One of the contributing factors towards a Monty-esque feel are the narrower, 680mm Monty handlebars.

The Ti bike looks a bit more fatiqued and may require some work to get it up to scratch. Check the for cracks before you buy it. I had 3 Montys in my riding career and cracked 3 frames, all Montys  

Thank you very much. Its going to be hard to look at it too much before buying since its on the oposite part of the country. However i got a lot of images of it and it looks ok.

[Wheel base]

So im going to buy a my first trials bike. Im a little over 180cm. Should i go for a longer or a shorter wheelbase?

Hi guys, so i suddently got the urge to try out trials biking. Im buying a used bike because of budget. I already have a long background of xc mountainbiking and a bit trail. My two options are monty 219 mag and monty 221 ti. By the pictures it seemes like the 221 ti has a slightly longer wheelbase. I want to ride some street trials but i know i wont be doing any fancy pancy tricks. I'l just learn the basics and play around. (Red one is 221 and silver one is 219) the 219 also has a lot of upgraded parts and comes with some extra shit. (Dunno if that makes a difference)

Edit: i realized just now that i posted this on wrong thread, sorry for that
