I know that there isn't many going around the place, but if you have any pic's I would love to have a look.
I picked mine up second hand in near new condition in Nov last year. I'm slowly changing things to set it up how I like.
The parts that I have changed so far is the front brakes, stem and fitted a booster. Other than that, it's just fine adjustment.
Frame: Monty 231ti 06
Forks: Onza Light guy
Stem: Zhi 120-20
Bars: Onza
Front brakes: Hope trial 07
Rear brakes: Magura 05 on with echo lever, Echo booster.
Front wheel: Hope hub, Monty rim
Rear wheel: Chris king single speed, Monty 25" rim
Cranks: Middleburn RS7 Super Pro trials
Tensioner: Rohloff Speed hub tensioner (modified)
I really like it so far, and I'm planning on changing the rims to 26" when I kill these ones. I would like to change the forks, as I find the straight ones a little harsh at times.

Some new tyres on there and you’ll bee set dude.Yeah, it's getting a little low, Ive been doing so much urban riding lately that it's worn all most a complete tyre in 3 months. I'll get a new one before next comp.
Yeh definitely get a sweeping fork, they're not set up for straight ones"Sweeped fork" was the word that I was looking for. I was thinking about the echo control or something stiffer like the GU, but I'm not sure yet.

Mine when it was new, about a year and a half ago. Since then I've changed the bar and brakes. No problems with the disc tab so far.

I wouldn't go putting a super-stiff fork on a SAF Monty, not only would it defeat the purpose but it would put further stress on the frame
Often strong fork = broken frame, I've seen it before
i really like that bike , would have loved to try one of them .

Be strong and leave koxx! They don't seem to appreciate the effort you put into your videos and stuff in order to promote their products. Ask for a monty (or even deng) sponsorship, I bet they'll treat you better ;)

changed a couple of things since I last posted, and thought I might put up a current pic.
I have changed the stem to a echo 130/15(nice but might try and get it a little lower and shorter still) and some KOT forks (second hand... thanks Jack)
I'm well happy with the way it rides at the moment, and I managed to weigh it for the first time today and came up with 10.8kg's. not too bad I think because I have not really tryed to save weight at all.
