Monster, Monsteur, Monstour , 26/29+ and Expedition and Adventure bikes

this frame and forks is now surplus to requirements, and up for sale: https://www.lfgss.com/comments/13125229/

£100, can post at cost. not in mint condition, has dents and scratches but is steel and should last for ever. sliding dropout and mech hanger so versatile. While i've had it its been a 26 inch wheel polo bike, 700c fixed commuter, then 26inch wheel singlespeed, then monster crosser most recently. PM me if interested, its in Birmingham.

What bars are on this mate?

What size 700s does it take?

Nitto Albatross. Quality is top notch, and hand position is similar to the top of drops.

I've had 28s in there, I don't think I had anything bigger at the time. I'll have a measure tonight.

This would be nice!

Looks to be 36ish cm from dropout to chainstay bridge, so some pretty chunky 700c tyres should fit. That's with the sliding dropouts slid all the way forward. I'd think you could get some nice 650 wheels in there.

Excuse the instagram filter pls

Anyone with the Marin pine mountain 1 2016 or 2017 should know that Marin have recalled the rigid fork and will be sending replacements. Either contact the retailer or a Marin dealer.

I've had a front rack and loads of stuff attached to mine and no problems but better safe than sorry

Long time lurker in this and the functional thread. Been liven in London for a while with my partner and our visa's are almost up so we are embarking on a grand brexit tour of Europe. London has lived up to it's reputation and I have fuck all money left so had to do the bikes on the cheap. They're pretty janky but I'm like 95% sure they will be fine.

Got some cheap but seemingly decent wheels from rosebike and still needa to do some cassette and wheel swapping. Also got a smaller crankset for chips that I needa throw on the kona.

Still planning route but gonna be hitting Germany (Black Forest), Eastern Sardinia, Slovenia, Croatia down to Greece and maybe Norway and Scotland if time is on our side. The stuff I have planned is mostly b roads and forest tracks with a little singletrack.

Hoping my faith in 90's steel mtbs is not misplaced.

For cheap bikes, those two look really nice!
I hope you have a good trip.

They're awesome!!

Always wanted an orange C16 in that colour.....good work!

sick

a very hot atb from finland aaaaaah

customized 90's diamondback

Is that those stoopid 66cm radavist bars?

Whether they are or not they look ridiculous.

Anybody able to ID Athens stem on the diamond back?

Velo Orange Cigne, maybe? http://store.velo-orange.com/index.php/components/stems/threadless-stems/grand-cru-long-stem-high-polish.html
