Is there any wisdom as to the width of handlebars on a trials bike?  I was practicing on my new bike, and noticed that the bars are about 2" wider than my shoulders.   The width became noticeable when I would try to pull up on the bars.

Today was my first ride on the Monty.  The bike inspires confidence.  What a difference a tight bike makes.  As long as I was in good position the bike would reward me with the move that I had in mind.

Highlight of the day.  I was riding inside a 15' deep gully.  Going up one wall was a trail that had exposed roots about a foot higher than the ground.  The roots were about 10' up the wall.  In front of the roots was a 3' long absolute vertical section.  No way I would of been able to make it up that with either my XR or my old Fantic.   The Monty wheelied right over the roots, and right up the rest of the climb. :yeehaw:

I was done after 2.5 hrs of practicing.  My arms and fingers were shot.

I'm real happy with this purchase.
