I recently bought this bike off ebay. It's a 1983 Monty T-19 trials bike from Spain.
For some reason all the bikes like it that I've seen have had the handle bars way forward. Does anyone know, is that how they're supposed to be?
Also, I know this isn't a true BMX bike, but it sure has the spirit of a BMX bike. I can't get over how it had small gears and a bash guard way before we started seeing that stuff on most BMX bikes. Kind of a cool artifact.
I found out that some guy in Japan actually has a small museum set up specifically for these bikes. I might have to get ahold of him to see if he might want this one. I'm not sure I'm going to be doing much serious riding with it.
