Paul_C Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Hello This is my 1st post here (to get permission to post elsewhere...). I'm Paul, I've got a very (very, very..) old 1996 Monty 221 X Lite mod which is well used and abused but still works and while other bikes come and go I seem to still have my Monty so it must be good. The wheels are a bit bent and the brakes don't seem what they used to be but I'll get them sorted. Currently trying to get back into trials so not as good as I used to be. I've rode jumps and stuff on my mountain bike more lately. I'm 25 soon so probably older than most of you... Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul_C Posted July 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 It weighs 23.3lbs (10.59kg), with that heavy Odyssey seat and clamp and DX flats, and some incredibly heavy bar bungs! Thanks for all the comments chaps I've got some more pics of old school stuff but I'll put them on the old school thread in the main forum.

To be honest thats not really heavy! if you put lighter bar and stem on and a lil plastic seat would be a little lighter haha, an in 12 years people have managed to decrease around 11kg to lowest 7kg or 8kg! pretty sweet lol. as i say its a sweet classic is that beast! jake, Edited July 10, 2008 by Czar-rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_C Posted July 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Some more pics on this thread for you all http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....60&start=60 To be honest it still feels pretty light to ride, I've just been out on it. The front brake is utter crap though, I've tried to bleed it but I think it just needs a new brake and wheel.
