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

Yes I agree and I can get it for quite cheap via the shop I work at. Really don't need another bike though but it's tempting!

Love the green 'pro' drop bar one!

Except you do.. N+1 and all that.

Someone turn this thing into a Monstourer:

Currently only £1 + £10 postage, including funky segmented fork, headset, stem, bars, seatpost. Just add wheels, brakes, groupset, saddle, cables/chain/etc. and a bunch of racks out of your parts bin. Sizing would be the only difficulty. Ends in a couple of hours!

Did someone buy it? Got a bunch of bidders towards the end...

lol

Pretty impractical looking, yeah, especially since recumbents don't allow for a lot of body english.

Is there a background story? Maybe the user has an injury that doesn't allow for a normal position?

Ha, when I had recumbents that was what lots of people assumed; beards are not an injury, they're a lifestyle.

What a bike. The detailing is lovely, especially the chainstay cutout.

I'll pass on your kind words.
I think plan is to build a rack for it and then rebuild it with gears for bespoked. This was hastily put together for sscxec this weekend.

Picked this up today, original orange paint with light sparkle

Shit thats good! looks super fun

+1 Rad

Maybe switch out the 2.35s for slightly smaller ones idk
Just need to put wald or rack on the front and I'm set

P7?

That's some mad clearance.

Nah the volume is great! But at over a kilo its a lot of weight to get rotating..

Yeah, has project 2's instead of original fork, but theres clearance front and rear if you wanna go bigger

Not sure the 65mm SKS could handle much more tho

Nice, there was a very similar build on ebay a while ago, is it the same?

Please somebody bring this into the fold;

Nice... no frame is worth a visit to Hull though

Edit: ooh, same seller has an SSMTB up for sale

Wow you must really hate Hull. Did someone piss on your chips there?

Just joking, I'm sure it's got some nice bits... I thought everyone hated Hull

Any thoughts on the new Cotic Escapade? Thinking of picking one up to replace my current frameset

Love my old one with the steel fork - it's been a cross bike, gravel bike, road bike, tourer.

New one looks great too and takes 650b x 50 tyres.
