What the hell is this...ryanoceris

Looks as though this Carbon Magnesium (Is that a spicy way of saying 4130?) Monty has been mistaken for a BMX, I mean an observed trials mountain bike, Whaaa? Help me out.

Both CARBON and MAGNESIUM are used in pretty much every steel alloy. That Monty could be hi-ten for all you know (a lot of Montys still *shudder* are)

As for the "Ice Pick", should I laugh now or later?? Looks like an old cruser frame they found and painted, threw on an old P-bone that was lying around (sure looks like a 1 headset to me) and slapped a few parts on it. The only "urban riding" that bike will see is cruising to the store for some milk.

actually, that cruiser is a K2 rosario frame, which happens to be a bike path hybrid bike, a real piece.

carbon and magnesium are used in a variety of tubes, among many other materials, I don't think there is a single pure metal used in bikes. Though I highly doubt that's what he meant.

The second bike is as Optical mentioned, just a cruiser with a cool paintjob and nice rigid fork. He's been trying to sell it forever

Alright fine, now I see the basket mounts on the back. But I still think thats a cool shape for an agressive bike -> I mean, its called urbam assult and you have a bike that has a shape like that- thats awesome. Id like to have a frame shaped the same way with an z1 MCR and a different paint job, some discs, and a big nasty toothed Kooka.
