Had a customer of mine that had 33M number one.
Sold the bike to a collector in Spain for crazy money.

I've got a soft spot for those early Montesas. When I was researching the VMX piece I did on them I really got to understand what they're about. I hope you keep this one Dave, I'd love to see it at Crystal Brook up against my Cheney in pre '70 later this year.

Well, it would be nice to have you riding the cheney and you can huff and puff with me, but it will be great to line up beside Tony.  Do us old boys get a head start. :P
