Monty Kamel-231

£1200 frame only. There are no plans to even get them to the UK because MRS don't think anybody will pay the money for the frame.

This is totally illogical. 231K frames are available to riders for about 500 pounds in other European countries yet in the UK the price tag is 2,5 times higher. Having set it that high, none will be imported due to the lack of interest.

sounds like the best thing to do is to get one smuggled past customs then so can get one cheap.

a guy on a french trials forum measured 1085/+35

a german guy measured 1080/+30/382 on his kamel

i thought it was around them at first but in a topic before i was proved otherwise.

orignally kenny bealey said his proto had a 35 bb.

But then suposidly the bb height was set at 55. In a topic yonks ago, i thought that may be the bb height would be 35 on the single speed version like kennys and 55 on the mech one. It would be nice if some one could actually clear up what the wha the geo is.

off top of me head 1090ish 55 380-385 72, but i cant remeber properly and also the geo will be different with the horzontal dropouts version due to where you have the wheel.

Me: Those new montys are like +55 aren't they?

Porter: Nah, no way kenny would ride that, its +25 or something

lol

Nah sodd that, bb is too high.

you talking about kenny? because he has a mavic not sure which it is though do you know?

yes i am ,mavic 819 very light but think it was only 16 mm wide, he said he doesn't notice the difference cpmared to a wider rim..

and you can also save weight because you don't have to use any rimtape:)

You can feel a difference sometimes as i use a mavic 321 which is narrow. but its a mint rim thats took a shite load of abuse
