Another good publicity was a club in the west end called lime lights, this was a top club with the pop stars and we done a show in there and I made friends with one of the dj's and had vip passes which was cool. A pint was about £8 I think at the time lol. If I remember right I think that rod...

There is a red muddy fox monarch out there somewhere or was, if you look at the early adds for muddy fox the bike is stood up in a stream and a woman's back is towards the camera , this was Jackie Falange , think that's how it's spelt, the bike is in its original colours of white gold but I then...

Remember the slogan, muddy fox the mountain bike people. Other UK makes did exist like Saracen ridgeback and a couple of others but muddy fox had edge and lots of marketing so muddy fox did make mountain biking popular It was not a big company and only had a few staff really who when we had a...

I wish I could but I left around about that time but I do remember a bike that had a red frame and white forks, it was very lightweight. Only one of theses were made so it may be that you are talking about. On about shows I think it was at the bike show that muddy fox got the news that they...

Re: Seeker, that's right I forgot about that one, that replaced the explorer, the original explorer. Good times, i sometimes think of them and wonder what would have happened to muddy fox if I had not left. so many wild parties and a couple of xmas parties that were wild. We did do a couple...

Re: That's right, if you got the other oval rings and say spun the pedals the rear mech cage would pull back and forth as with shimano it stayed static

Another thing i did was to bolt on an extra chain ring so we had 4, and at the same time i fitter an extra two sprockets on to the freewheel (yes, not a cassette) and again they is bits about it in the magsfrom that time.

Who remembers the shimano biopace chain rings? At the time i worked at muddy fox and also reviewed lots of the new things on the market, i done a test ride of the at the the new doer group set on a bike that was sent to us from shimano and i said at the time that the elliptical chain rings were...

Hi I may be able to help you out if you still need one, I used to review for them around that time and think that my mum has all the copies I will ask and if so will get back to you Steve

I remember Saracen putting brooks saddles on the mountain bikes in the mid80s while the few others used soft saddles. Saracen had been going a long time before the mountain bikes came about. There are two brothers Nick and dick crane who came to us in the eighties at muddy fox and wanted two...

Re: Do know if you remember the Noel Edmunds late late breakfast show on tv in the 80s? We supplied them with about 10 pathfinders that we put discs on the rear wheels and they had a underwater mountain bike race in a swimming pool. You could try looking on YouTube as someone may have put a...

Re: Hi The box bikes are also made by araya and we used to call them the ET bikes as some had a basket on the front, but the few better models had numbers. If your bike had s and g cycles on them ( this came about as the company was Kirwall t/a s and g distributors ltd) your bike would have...
