Franksx2005 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Here are the latest pics of my current bikes, first we have an old School gem, its a really good condition monty 221 Xlite from 1997/8. the way this bike rides you wouldnt believe its age, it would still put a lot of modern bikes to shame. Next we have my 24" Echo Urban, i have spent a lot of money getting this to a high standard only to find i dont get on with it check my for sale thread for parts. will be a shame to split a bike that looks as good as this. Hope you like, (NICE) comments welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Loving the Monty, very oldskool! Shame about the Echo - however, if you get a higher rise stem on there the bike will feel COMPLETELY different, something like 110 x 35 degrees ish and I think you'll enjoy it a lot more...

What do you recomend stem wise then mate? might try that first before i brake it as i would love to keep it. i have some trialtech bars which should be here in the next day or to for the echo too.

craigjames Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Monty looks awesome, but as Adam has said the front end looks incredibly low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Love the Monty. Last time i looked, the shop down the road still has the same model. Our town was full of nothing but Montys and Megamos when i first started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
