Don't you think you should reign those dreams in a bit?
Muddy Fox? Dreamed of one of those (and a Saracen killi flyer and weirdly an Orbit 631 road frame) when I was about 14. Never achieved any other them.
Can't decide whether I like that or not. It looks great, but I bet it rides horribly.
WOW !! ..Skyway TA ... had one of those when i was 16 in chrome with white carbon tuffs, at the time there was only 2 in the country.
My mom bought it me out of her redundancy money !! .. Thanks MOM ..RIP
Two fine items of retrolust there!
I used to dream of owning a yellow Muddy Fox Explorer ever since I rode one back in 1987. I had a Raleigh Maverick at the time... anyways a few years ago this frame popped up on eBay so it became mine for the measly sum of £10

one day I'll get round to finding some retro bits to make it more authentic, might even treat it to a respray, in the mean time it gets used for singlespeed pub duties... seen above on holiday in Spain
thats not retro just old
I had one of those, or near about (can't quite see the detail)
Surprised its on the original forks. Bet its not on the original seat post.
Its a classic. First UK produced proper mountain bike for a reasonable cost. £300 it was.
I did miles on mine, including the south downs way in a day.
The one bike I lusted over was the gold Kona Explosif with P2 forks and XT thumbies - all steel sexyness!
i had the 90/91 splatter job one with track2 forks and suntour groupset. its still local as i saw an older guy riding it a few months back. now i would part with a few £ for that just for nostalgia.
no no no, at that time I lusted after a Roberts White Spyder with H bars
with silly short chainstays (under 16 inches)
thats not retro just old
That made me chuckle. Looks like I'll have to give it away 🙂
a courier is retro...
got an old courier that will be rolling again soon...got all the parts now just need the time...
