Robin M S/c Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Just built Adams new 2011 Monty 207 Kamel. Few changes from the 2010 model Aluminium steerer tube Shorter headtube Shorter chainstays 15-12 gearing. 7.25kg at the moment but a few lightweight bits to get from Tartybikes should bring it down to 7kg See how it performs at the tyke trial this weekend.

Kieran Morrison Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Sorry for sounding rude but who is Adam? Is it adam thats sponsored by tarty (the 8 year old not adam read!) Nice bike anyway, looks sweeet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence--Trials Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 (edited) So think adam should be having a 19" rear wheel by now.. but 7.2 thats stupidly light, whats the geo (if you know?) New bike = new video? Kieran, Yes check out some of his videos on Youtube. Edited October 1, 2010 by Laurence--Trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New bike = new video? Kieran, Yes check out some of his videos on Youtube. He's not big enough yet to be needing a 19" rear wheel. It'll add too much weight. The geo is 910 wheelbase, 320 chainstays +45 BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John - Hynes Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 So think adam should be having a 19" rear wheel by now.. Why would you think that? I'd imagine his Dad knows best... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 That lever looks snappy happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 That lever looks snappy happy Fully grown men have been using levers like that for years. An 8 year old will be fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Trials Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Chop the disc mounts off maybe, would save more weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin M S/c Posted October 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 New bike = new video? As requested I've done a few clips of Adam. See the video section of the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
