Tall_Rob Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Hello, I have a question about monty 221 kamel frames... I know, they're light and they ride awesome... But I don't know how strong they are. Has anyone broken kamel frame? Comments welcome uldis They are a competition use bike and are pretty strong. Monty do offer a 2 year warranty with it though which is miles better than others. Contact your local distributor for full details and assistance.

The sponsor Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 They are as rare as rocking horse shit, so i doubt it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 I wouldn't be massivly worryed about its strength. I'd be far more worryed about its re-sale value, doubt you could get much over 200quid for a mint cond. Monty Kamel frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim/Trialsin USA Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 OK, here is something only tangentially related...........but I have to get it out. Seven or eight years ago it was all the rage to own a sub 20 pound stock bike and sub 18 pound mod. It is cool, no doubt..... I'm all for people being able to buy what the Pros have. Where I got turned off was the consumer reaction once bikes started breaking. The loudest hue and cries could be heard continent to continent all screaming for better warranties. Not long after a few companies either went out of business or quit the trials market. Fast forward to now........ please, please, please (not directed specifically at person that started thread) please.......... become the smoothest rider on the planet, get full sponsorship or don't buy a superlight machine. In this sport, your bike is regularly smashed onto rocks (and worse!)......... let your skills (and wallet size!) help determine appropriate machine. I feel much better now. Since I no longer sell things retail, I can be blunt.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Ryan Considering he is half my size and weight and is one of the smoothest riders iv met other than rankin as well as ryan only riding natrual i think its fair to say iv been put off dont think i wana spend £600 on something that someone half my size can crack in so little time but thats only my veiw fair play to people who can afford them and make them last.
