Monty urban Frame

[Marks]

I have an Monty Urban Frame for Sale. Not sure of the year, but it was the first year that they offered an Urban frame. The frame is used, but still has a lot of life left in it. Includes a headset and ISIS Bottom Bracket. It was originally white and black, but after riding it for a while I wanted a change and sprayed it flat black. It has normal wear and some scratches, but nothing that would damage the frame.

Top Tube: 22.25"
Chain Stays: 15.625"
Magura 4 bolt or disc
135mm Rear

Let me know if you have any questions. I will try and get some pics up
Looking for around $200 shipped, but make me an offer if that sounds to high. I would be willing to trade for a decent paintball gun if you are interested. (Along the lines of a Tippmann 98 custom or Custom Pro.)

does it take the 25" wheel?

[Marks]

It does not have to be a 25" wheel it will take a 26" that is what I was running in it.

for a new guy, could you explain the 25"/26" rear wheel issue. I read an adjustment has to be made to the brakes?

I'm looking for a frame to build up but want to make sure I understand what I'm getting...

Thanks

Monty has made some of their frames with a 25" rear wheel. Fronts are all still 26". Either a 25 or 26 will work perfectly on the rear AS long as you are running a rear disc. Rim brakes will not work on a 26" wheel because the brake mounts line up to a 25" wheel. However, there are adapters that are hard to come by that can remedy that. I think Monty made the Urban in both 26" and 25" depending on the year.

Thanks, that makes sense.

If I could pick your brain just a little more- as far as building a starter bike, I was planning a rim brake of some sort. Is this the kind of think I want to get into with a rear disc or is it no big deal to buy a 25" wheel instead of a 26"?

Thanks again

I was running a Disc and never had any issues with it when I had it built up. I did put a 26" wheel into the drop outs because I was not sure if it was for 25 or 26. The way that it looks to me is that the rear is for a 25" wheel because a 26" wheel does not line up in the middle of the mounts. A 26" wheel sits closer to the top mount than in the center of the mounts on the frame. I hope that this helps.

I had it on Ebay, but the buyer never came through with the money. It sold on Ebay for $140 Shipped. If anyone on here wants it I will do $130 Shipped. Let me know if you are interested. No Trades
