ksv Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Made on 01/02/94 last 6 digits? Or I may be wrong... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis07824 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 er thought they started in 97?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wherry Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 If you can't put a pic up. What colour are your fork tubes (stanchions)? Front pipe? Tank? Is your front brake single or twin pot? We can soon ID it I expect, but I'm not sure if the frame number comes in to it - it doesn't seem to correlate with anything on my bike unless it's in some code that I don't understand.

wherry Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 I'm guessing the answers to my own questions! Forks - grey/black silvery Front pipe - black Tank - black Brake - single pot Am I close? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wherry Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Well your frame number is around 400 lower than mine so I reckon it's probably a '99 or possibly a '98. This might give you a better idea - www.apexmotosports.com/Montesa_Models.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis07824 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 lookin at the pics, the99 has red handlebars and black rear mudguard like mine having said that mine came with a spare red one! the guy i got it from wasnt sure if it was 98 or 99 either! thanks wherry!

wherry Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Yeah I reckon '99. As far as I know also it was only the '99 that had the 'black' finish to the fork tubes/stanchions. The '98s were 'silver' chrome - not 100% sure on this but it's what I've always thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis07824 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 just managed to put a pic on the"garage"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tt5th Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 It does look like mine! The black chrome stanchions are the giveaway that it's a '99. No idea why mine has the later '00 decals though...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis07824 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 so were agreed its a 99 then!? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
