My new Ventana El Saltomontes

[John U]

Had this built up about 3 weeks ago
It is a beautiful frame to start with.
Have not completed the proper set up yet. I need to the 5 inch rocker on and then re-route/shorten a few cables.
I will put up some more pics when it is finalised
Hasn't been ridden yet

Beautiful man, new stem and bars would make it tops!

That is a supreme machine! Very nice dude, how much does it weigh? 12.5kg? thats like just under 2/3 the weight of my bike...

P.S. Love the colours.

Yep, these were the only negative thoughts that came to my mind. What are your plans for this beasty? Do you race or is this your perfect trail weapon?

Damn that's one sweet rig!

That AND the Rocky!!?? :eek:

[John U]

Thanks.

Hoping to race it when my back improves. for the time being in 5 inch form it should be the ultimate trail weapon and should hopefully look after my back at the same time.

i am helping the importer get them seen around sydney so if you're interested in one and want to see it in the flesh pm me. it looks better in the flesh. the paint job is pretty good

i have some easton carbon monkeylite bars to put on but haven't got around to it yet. not sure what stem to get. needs a new head set too.
