jsy trials matt Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 I have been riding for about 3 years and at the moment have a koxx trick and have spent lots of money making it better. But now I think I am ready to buy a new frame and I was looking on Tarty at the Monty 221 Pr. What do you think about them?Cheers, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Anscombe Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 221 pr=beast of a bike.......and only cost 175 a frame......witch is verry good considering most frames are around the 300 mark......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianttrials Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 i think you'll find that your koxx frame is 1 of the longest there is, so a monty will be extremely short for you, i'd think yuo'd be better of saving up for a zhi or zoo! bit longer (probably about the same as your koxx) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinity Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Get one, I would 110% recomend them. I kind of started on a 26" and went to a monty and found it small but not bad at all. Feels nice and flicks around easy. There is one small downfall however, they are weak. Well, old montys are weak, I am presuming they have improved the frames alot.I would defonatly say get one though, they are great bikes and well worth the money.

Matt i think you should save up for a Zhi, or by a second hand frame off the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 echo mods are 1000 unless they are long, even then they are only 1030. Zhi's are also in and around 1000/1010 so your talking out yer arse really...1000mm is 'standard' wheelbase for mods, only in the last few years have companies started making mod's with wheel bases bigger that 1010 as far as i know anyway..
