Rusevelt Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Just been sent a picture of a prototype Monty 221Ti... looks very interesting!And here's one I tweaked a bit Adami like the hydro formed tubes. makes a change from standard straight gauge tubing. to those of you whom think this frame is weird looking, remember that prototype Giant trials bike that appeared in BikeTrials magazine years ago. where they used one piece of tubing as a mainframe. that was real weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tylerlovesalex Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Wouldn't most people?Not so much of a statement about the frame then, is it...lol shhh you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 that is horrid. ive liked every monty frame goin untill now on the proto i saw it was basically the 07 ti wit the seat tube chopped and i thought that looked real smart would have even been tempted to buy one but that is horrid and 80% on here agree so i wonder if monty would realise it would be a flop on the other hand i bet it rides smart, as montys always do ! cheers matty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Seriously what the hell? It seems though as a little bit of Deng has sneeked in here. The old frames rule why not just improve the strength. I guess they think differently to us though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt rushton Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Personaly I think it looks nice. Somthing different and if it said echo or zoo on the downtube most other people would like it aswell. It looks different like a GU or any other deng frame but because its a monty people hate it.Matt Rushton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt! Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 i think they are running out of things to do with the monty sdo they will just change it completly..as seen in the prototype pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backgren Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 I was talking about 2005 version or later, not sure what year that is thoughand i'm not sure if that a snap, but I can't judge that based on one pictureI have heard of some cracking though, but we werent talking about that now Isn't a crack bad enough? I've seen quite a few 05 montys crack at the rear disc mount, and i think someone round here cracked his near the BB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 The strongest way of joining two points has to be a straight line between them, that's just daft. The only exceptions I can think of are if you're worried about clearance for knees etc, or to increase weld area. This looks like neither of those things, so it's just a design made to look different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Looks horrible.If it didn't have the stupid bend in the top tube, it'd look well nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 (edited) In terms of headtube strength? are two tube's joined like this: (maybe with a smaller angle of 'x'?)|  / | / |    (x) | \ |  \ not better than two joined like this:(but with a bigger angle of x?) | |\ |  \ |    \ |    |x  / |  / |/god what shite diagrams.

joe b Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Very interesting indeed. I'm sure they have the top tube like that for a reason - there will be some benefit of it - it's not just there for it to look shit.I'd love a blast on that, though. You have the geo for it, Ads?Cheers,Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen quite a few 05 montys crack at the rear disc mount, and i think someone round here cracked his near the BB.There are always a number of bikes from all company's which crack, i really don't understand whypeople complain about it so muchbut oh well lets end this discussion, we don't really got statistics or anything so we will never have proof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
