The one that got me started some 20 years ago. Muddy Fox Alu Comp. Lasted about 18 years until the frame snapped just before Cristmas. its been through a lot including 3 Strathpuffers. Got the frame welded with a view to rebuilding, but now the bottom bracket has seized in the frame and every bike shop i've tried, are unable to shift it.Its hanging up in the garage now just waiting…waiting…waiting…
Alu Comp it was until the frame snapped. Lasted me for 15 years, but had the frame welded and the rebuild is on (retro-rigid). Now moved on to a Cube Ltd Race until the Fox returns to service.
My youngest wasn't getting on with stabilisers on her bike and didn't want them taken off, so i stripped down an old bike from the garage (took off pedals, chain, cranks and chainring) and she used that for balancing on. Within the day, she was off, and moved on to her own bike again without stabilisers.
My back was broken, but well worth it!
She now loves cycling more than Barbie! Well almost.
Best Puffer ever. This is my fourth one now and I think these conditions, although atrocious, were the best and most exhilirating ever.
We've had rain, snow, ice, wind, you name it and still we turn out in our 100's from all over the country to participate.
Ain't mountainbiking just the best?
Congratulations to all who competed and organised.
Bring on Puffer '11.
Anyone know how the campsite will be for camping? Will it be possible to pitch a tent if the course is okay? And how are the approach roads to Contin from Inverness.I've just bought a Cube Ltd Race especially for the Puffer due to me rigid Muddy Fox frame snapping before Christmas, and I'm desperate top try it.
