jj65 Thanks for the gearing advice I will try that as I find 1st to low and 2nd to tall with the std gearing is this a common thing??? Steveo, I will try and weigh it over the weekend I've just machined a Ti swing arm bolt for it so the weight will come down a bit more. I will do some pics of the bike over the weekend and post them I will also line all of the nut & bolts up and get some pics of them and post a pic to show what I have changed, glad you liked the report. Phil.

Hi all, I've got the new Repsol 260 and rode it at the Loughborough trial a couple of weeks ago and I love it, it was on ebay for sale at the time I started the trial and by the time I reached section 4 I called the wife and told her to remove it ASAP... I find the grip fantastic and the way the bike feels planted and stable in sections is a great confidence booster although the jury is still out regarding the gearing . I had a new 2013 Raga rep 250 previous to the Montesa and I have to say the suspension and build quality are worlds apart, the Gas Gas was good to ride but had an awful habit of breaking…(front brake calliper, fuel tank, the fuel tap fell out, clutch casing I crashed it clipped a rock and holed it, non in stock at Gas Gas!!! A new set of wheels as the std original ones the anodising was so poor it like they were years old)… enough said on build quality of the Gas Gas. The only issue with the Montesa i've had up to now is a snatchy clutch and since bleeding it it has cured the problem. So the love affair started at Rileys railway Loughborough trial and since then the modifications have started which include shedding up to now almost 4 kgs from the bike by removing all of the STD bolts "engine and chassis" and replacing them with a full titanium kit, Raptor footrest hangers Raptor pegs and Raptor titanium snail cams, i've removed the STD steel water hose clamps and fitted special fitting heat resistant black plastic items, HRC carbon rear reservoir cap, Mitani 27mm titanium front pipe, my own home made alloy quick release fuel tank bolt, home made flush fuel tank breather cap and various other bits and pieces of carbon most of it from Banyeres in Spain. I think it is fair to say my new obsession has just begun and I will post some pics of it very soon. Phil.

Hi Johnny, You will be pleased to know the bike is now dirty and as a real trials enthusist I really am impressed with it. The bike will also be used at the Loughborough trial tomorrow. Phil.

Morning Johnny, Andy and the guys, 1st of all i am a real trials enthusiast to a point where I ride 3-4 times a week, I am also a fully paid up member of various trials clubs in and around the midlands!!! The bike retail is £6799 and I paid £92 to register the bike. I only advertised it on ebay and the like to see what reaction it got and judging by the reaction on here it caused a big one… and yes if someone had come up with the asking price I would have sold it, end of... I'm pretty sure Johnny over the years whatever you do and whatever you have sold you have made profit at some point... The bike will now be used as of today as it should be in the mud over rocks etc etc. I'm pretty sure you will all be happy now it will be dirty by about 1PM today Regards, Phil.
