In my honest opinion,I think it is your decision on what bike you prefer,I have heard good and bad things about both Koxx and Monty.I have heard that Koxx are over-priced,but other people who have bought them say they are worth every penny they payed for them and love them as soon as they ride them,I have heard that montys are great bikes.I have also heard people saying that they snap quite easily because they are competition frames,other people think that they are too short.I haven't yet had the pleasure to ride either bike so until i have i can't really give a real answer(if possible) I would just go for what you feel you would be more happy riding and whichever you think suits your needs Good luck zoo
