Nice work.

I love these Bonty conversions - must get around to doing mine.

There is nothing, within the two-wheeled-world, that I like more that a Monstercross Build/Conversion. I've been after a Bontrager for just such a purpose as this.

I'm eagerly awaiting new pictures (muddy ones! ), updates and a good ole' ride report

Fantastic stuff.
