Concussion Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Hi, I'm looking for a little help/advice on a mod bike I have been offered for £100. (Price my friend in LBS said he'd get for it) `Monty Team T219`/maggies F + R/ 20"F - 19"R. Described as, `been siting in the shed for a while`! I ride a T-rex and would love a cheap little mod to have fun on. Has anyone rode one or got any info on this bike please as I don't really know much about mods.....except the size !! I have just been to the Monty site and can't quite work out which one it may be, although I'm asuming its an 04/05 model......and what the`T` stands for I don't know? ( the paint jobs look horrid though!! :blink: ) Any info would be appreciated, but for £100 this has got to be a good deal right? Thanx -C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SQuiT-man Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 I would expect it to be an oldskool one, sorta like the one above in the picture. Get it, should be a blast to ride, really good fun+great geometry I bet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Oliver Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 (edited) I use to have a 219 alp which looks similar to the one in the pic, they ride better than they look & are light & strong. :blink: If its tidy & you decide you dont like it i have loads of mates who would be interested.

Martin Grainger Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Yeah, sorry man but if its the 2nd one I'm defo buying it! :- No info yet as he aint pickin up his phone! If I don't dig the bike I will post back some info to see if anyone wants it. (if a non-memb can do that?) Thanks again......... :) Dont think you can, it will count as a for sale/wanted post, unfortunatly pre-members can not do this. Try and contact a member to do it, maybe a friend or something.

Enrico Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Nice one!... but I was going to ask you.. Have you ever heard of Brisa?.. I suppose you had cos I'm selling mine (like new). It's a B26 D Pro... the price is a bargain! The reason I'm selling it cos I'm thinking of taking a year gap for travelling and my budget is too short. If you want to have more details like pics, price and specs.. drop me a line ether here or to my hotmail address (look into my profile) Peace! <_< e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concussion Posted November 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Hi, Going round to check this £100 mod out in an hour. Guy said it had triple clamp forks, leading me to believe its gonna look like the ugly monsters in the pic! :P (I hate that front end!) So......should I buy it? It will have maggies but still....its just so stinking ugly!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicky Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 i brought my monty for £55!! all it had wrong with it was a loose headset and the back hs33 was in need of re-bleeding. http://uk.msnusers.com/wilsonscar/mytrials...hoto&PhotoID=32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Grainger Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 If it is that Monty with triple clamp forks i really would't go near it because it is disguisting, if you look around i recon you could get a much better looking bike for a bargain!

Concussion Posted November 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Dam, it was the ugly sister after all :P It works ok, I would need to get rid of the `toe-clip pedals` :P and find an old stem/bar and fork!!! , but for £100...I don't think so! Thanks for the advice guys, well appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
