Readers Rides - Eddie Aitken’s Montesa 2T
By Team TMX on 3rd Feb 19
The Montesa 2T is the trials bike that many think Honda Montesa should have made. It marries the latest 4T chassis with the earlier 315 two-stroke engine and is a cracking hybrid. This particular example was built by Graham Tales originally, with the main fabrication work being tweaking the front down tubes to suit the two-stroke motor.
Co. Durham rider/ dealer Eddie Aitken then bagged the bike and set about adding some bling. The stainless exhaust front pipe was specially made for Eddie and it feeds a 315 centre box with the gases exiting via a Gas Gas tailpiece.
A pair of brand new Jitsie wheels does a great job on the bling front as does a set of shiny new graphics to set the whole thing off. It isnt just a show bike either and Eddie has already been out on it in his native North East.
