Probailer2 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Hello,I can buy a old school Monty b-219 trial bike for a very cheap price (120pounds)Would this thing be any good to learn bike trials, as I only used a unicycle for trial in the past?Picture of the bike (not the exact one, mine has wider tires and rims): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Owen. Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 I would say not matey! As its old school geo, so will not feel as easy to ride as modern day trials bike will! If you are just starting bike trials, i would say buy a 2nd hand one off here, see some real bargains go on thing like t-pro's, which are real nice frames! Loads of good bargains on here, i would definately say thats your best bet! Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgieporgie Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Thats seriously old school...like one of the first trials bike's around, im not sure on the geo, but it probably feels more like a bmx.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Not worth it, for £200 I've seen T-pros on here, which would be so much more worthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 My friend around here used to have one of them, and they're really not that great to ride, so I wouldn't bother to be honest. It's a nice piece of history I guess, but if you're after it purely as a 'nice piece of history' you'd be better off waiting for a Big Daddy Pimpin' white one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Probailer2 Posted August 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 So, what is the geo of this bike and of the T-pro then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 i can't quote geos, but the monty will be similar to a bmx, and the t-pro, is a copy of a koxx xtp, and they ride f**king ace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aener Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 I'd agree with buying a second hand modern bike - but I don't know how much postage would be to Belgium.More to the point - I don't know how many people on this forum would be WILLING to post to Belgium.
