[ebay.co.uk]Ti bonty

Despite being "post trek" these are still pretty cool. This one's for sale on ebay.co.uk

Is it post Trek? It has a canti mount on rear which suggests to me its from pre-V brake years.

Pretty sure all Ti Bontys were built after the Trek buy out.

May be right.

I may be wrong.

Interested to see what it goes for!

There's also a review to be found (versus a Klein) in a MTB Pro from sometime '96.

Having seen this frame offered before on STW for around Â£1k :roll: I'm geussing the reserve could well be on the high side...still am eager to see how the auction goes, might influence what I do with my own

(see readers bikes)...

I think the reserve will be high too - a bunch of us pointed out to him that he was asking too much, but some people get an idea in their head....

I've got a copy of the review vs. the Klein if anyone would like a copy - I can photograph it and mail it across.

were they really made by sandvik? titec ti bars of similiar timescale were made in china (I know, I bent both the 118 & PG150 bars...)

I testrode a proto bonty ti @ the malverns hills classic many moons ago when global fridge were the importers
