IOLO Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 i have a street bike built up,it basically all my old bits and i ride it brakeless.and i LOVE IT !it was an old monty Xlite 26" but that largly cracked from brakeless taps and using walls to endo.so now its an old base ta26 (the bash gaurd one)personally i loved the feel of the monty more, the only real difference was that the monty was -40mm bb roughlybut for street that was ace !get something cheap , a base is a good option still, and pretty available.go for it.iolo.
