Another one !!!
I have it for a few months now. Definitely change from supershort Monty (model 2000) Still getting used to it. Rides great imo.
Not totally finished pimpwise. Id also like to get rid of the luise and get a proper mini trials front brake. And im still experimenting with the bar/stem. From what ive seen, some of u MBK guys have really low rise stem.. what are your experiences?
cheers

I'm running a Thomson X2 road stem... 100 x 17. I have four spacers under it right now, so it adds a little height to it... but it feels pretty nice. I have a 110 x 5 on before that, but I like the 100 x 17 better...

why the silly routing of the front brake hydro line? other than that the bike looks sweet.

Nice bike, I use a Thompson, 110 x 15(whatever their steepest angle is, with about 4 or 5 spacers, I like it but it hurts my neck from looking up all of the time.

Thanks guys.
The bars are not mine actually. Im just trying them. But in real, the gold doesnt look that bad with blue frame. But I havent decided yet what i will get. I quite like silver fork silver stem thing somehow. I have had black stems for about 12 years on all my bikes. Its a big change for me :-)
Actually i think of silver bars to go totally against the mainstream.
I got this stem accidentally. Dont know if ill keep it. I like the look, but i must say that Tryall design with angled cap is ridiculous. Looks good but useless otherwise. You cannot make it lower, higher at all. Same with its standard diameter head. There are no bars for it anymore.
The routing actually works great this way. Bit unorthodox, i know, but i like that cable comes from the other side so its kind of symetrical together with the seccond one.
The wall is sexy indeed. I very like having sex leaning on it.

thats a pink wall.
the frame is sexy as fuck, but u need to get rid of the fucking fork. A Monty fork, upgrade to something better. and maybe th bar n stem combo needs to go. ( I'm pissy drunk right now. But I know what I'm ranting about.)

Comon The fork is not that bad. How it is now, after hangover? I mean, ofcourse it has to go, but Ill wait till it cracks. Id spend rather on brake at this point. The fork is one of the components from my old Monty I had before.
For some oldschool lovers. this is how it looked:

Thanks
I did the bash. I have place where they lasercut for me. At first i bought the crancks with tryall bash, but seeing how expensive it was, I returned it an exchanged it for that stem which was about same price. weird.
