monkeyseemonkeydo Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 (edited) Here's my ride since around December last year. Fairly standard 221Pr with Eno, KMC Kool, Hope Trial's, Onza sealed front hub, Monty Ti rear hub, powder coated rims in Repsol orange... and Onza carbon bars. Also drilled a few inch holes in the bash 'cos I got bored in the workshop last week... Big shout out to Ads and Dave at TB for helping me out! Enjoy.Dave Edited April 25, 2007 by monkeyseemonkeydo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 That looks mint with the orange rims and orange is me fav colour. If you sprayed the frame black it would look even better. Its silly how many people are posting 1200 quid bikes wish i had that kinda money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jed Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Looks lush! :wub: ... just wondering wouldn't drilling holes in your bash make it weaker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurston Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 That has to be one of the most lush looking montys ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted April 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 wouldn't drilling holes in your bash make it weaker?Cheers for the comments guys! Yes, drilling holes does weaken the plate but not too much if you're careful about placement (look at the Echo ones which come pre drilled). What can I say- I was bored and in the middle of milling a bit of ally with an inch (might've been 25mm) cutter.P.S. the rims are because I think the factory Montesa's look kinda sweet with the Repsol rims and decided the Monty would suit it too.Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RR_Trials Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Love the rims, but i prefer the silver monty colours.How much was it to powder coat those rims and were? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted April 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 (edited) How much was it to powder coat those rims and were?Rims were £10 each to sand blast and powder coat (2 thick coats) at Ferndown Powdercoatings. They did Dan Jones' frame in yellow for £20 too which I thought was very reasonable.Dave Edited April 25, 2007 by monkeyseemonkeydo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RR_Trials Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 That is crazy pricing. Did they cover his threads up ETC so that he didn't have to re-tap them? I have droped them an email about a pair of wheels.Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted April 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 That is crazy pricing. Did they cover his threads up ETC so that he didn't have to re-tap them?Not sure actually. Dan didn't have any complaints, I know that much. Probably worth dropping him a PM to ask though (think he's now Dan Jones on here- imaginitive no?!)Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_skj0lsvik_ Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Shouldnt be a problem anyways, just make sure you have covered the threads before painting.. lolThe monty look lush, cant wait to get mine now heehehhe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
