Frosty:
Montessa BMX bikes?

I have found one that has the distinctive M and all looks to be original, but I have not ever heard of them producing anything other than motorbikes or trials bicycles!

Any info greatfully received.

Thanks

Paul

They DID do a Trials cycle, about 82 I think. The local moto bike shop sold them.
I had a mate who had one, but do not remember much about it other than it had really cool nobblies on it, I think it had a MTB/motorbike style fork/headset set up. It was red. That is about it.

Hi

This sounds interesting.

Can you get some pics up of the bike and the M.

It could be a motorcycle manufacturer, as they did do a few builds and tried to get into the market.

I got a 16" BSA Looptail a while back, but don't remember every seeing one bitd.

Does it look like anything on here? -

The bike was produced by Montesa, the Spanish? trials bike manufacturer.
The "M" was the same as the motorbike, and they were sold thru the motorbike dealers.
I had a Montesa Cota 249 when I was 14. I bought it when I sold my Gen 1, which I never got a pic of, which I aquired by "swapping" the F+F for my GT way back when.
Our local dealer was a company John Burdons ( he was a VILLA moto X factory rider)
They are now a well established machine company, which stemmed from him making his own sprockets BITD.
He even did a rebore (60cc) on my RD50 BITD
Memories.
