Re: My restored T-219

Hi Trialsmeister, I have just found this thread whilst searching for old model Monty's, you may have already found the parts you need. There's a couple of rims on ebay currently that might be what you're after, although they're listed as 22.5 which I think is incorrect...

Re: Great to see others using these frames for modern builds, I noticed these frames in Dark Green on eBay a while back. Thanks for sharing the pictures. Not much progress lately, trying to find a Silver 32t 104bcd front ring that looks in keeping with the originals, alloy Suntour chainrings...

Re: Thanks for the comments people, it's turning out to be a fun project. Hey legrandefromage, I like that! Don't remember Rockshox XC's having Black nitrate stanchions, they look smart.

Re: Thanks Paul, managed to sort the front brake last night. 8)

This is very cool! Love a bit of retro trials! I've just picked up a 1990 Monty T-219 and a 1996 (I think) Megamo Trial Pro 20, the Megamo is one of Eddie Tongue's old bikes. Will get some pics up soon.

Bit more progress made with my Raleigh, getting there slowly!

Re: Very tidy looking bike, I like it! 8) Iv'e got a pair of them forks, just need a frame to put them in!

Re: Yes, one of the perks of working for a sign company!

Re: Thanks Neebsta. I like the fact it's a Raleigh, and a bit unusual looking. Build it progressing nicely. Forks have now been primed and one coat of top in the original Rockshox Blue, another rub back and one more coat tonight should do the job, new fork stickers are printed. Slowly coming...

Re: I was watching that one, good buy for £22! If it wasn't so far away it would of been a nice addition to the 250 I've got.

Re: Forks are Rockshox Judy XC. Looking at the original pictures of the bike the forks should have rubber boots on them, trying to find a set for when I put the forks back together.

Re: Thanks, I love the colour scheme. I'm just in the process of painting the forks. I'm keeping them the stock Rockshox Blue to keep it as original as possible, although I did think they'd look good in Red.

Hi all, thought I'd share my current project. I'm currently in the middle of restoring my 1999 Raleigh RSP 250. I have owned the bike since 2001, I came across the bike when looking in my local bike shop, the shop was selling it for a customer. I didn't have any intention in buying a Raleigh...

I've had one of these since 2001. Lovely frame, I'm currently in the middle of re-building it. I bought it as a complete bike, it's got a few interesting bits on it including a White Industries front hub and RockShox / AMP front disc brake. Unfortunately, I have limited time to work on it, so...
