Can you just replace the skewer? The QR20 front axle just used a rear QR skewer.

Full page advert for AC from the September 1999 Mountain Bike Action magazine.

That is 100% a Hodaka/Fastrax frame. Best known in the UK as a Coyote. That suggests that the Racer brand is not a UK one. Would be interested in any more photos of the 7040 if you have any.

That's 660mm in new money. Pretty wide. I find 560mm bars a bit narrow, 580mm is my sweet spot. Looks like there are modern bars in 660 on ebay.

Put up the frame number too. It could be helpful but it should mean we can put a date on it.

Yes. It's a 1980 Twenty Stowaway

Here's mine. I don't think I've shared it on retrobike.co.uk before. Had it about 5 years now, did a century ride on it a few years ago. Built it up so I could ride it and fit it in the boot of my Fabia. However it's never been in the car!

Not that I'm aware of. There were several formats used for Muddy Fox frames- Early 80s, were Araya with format such as 'A4A0266' Late 80s frames were still manufactured by Araya but the frame numbers started 'ARY' I've seen a mid 90s frame with number starting FC94 on here... Finally 'P' and...

Did anyone go? Showed up on my Youtube, some nice bikes there but mostly late 90s early 00.

Does it have a frame number?

Free bump, 1999 forks, 70mm travel.

Did you manage to find the frame number?

What does it look like? Similar to this one? https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/marin-tip-find.452892/ That's the closest match I have based on the frame number.

The decals match but the frame doesn't. Frame number suggests 1998 but nothing else close in my records, Plus look at those cowled dropouts and also the CNC chainstay yoke. Post 1997 for sure, as no rear cantilever hanger.

Maybe the mods can move this to the post 1997 section? May get more views.

There was another of these showed up on Facebook recently. Chap called Phillip Cassidy. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1404634276271014/permalink/7316019528465763/ Frame number is in the same range.

Of course it's worth something. How much? Depends on all the components and their condition, worth more in parts. Got to be at least £1000 as it stands, the paint on the frame looks very good.

Logo could possibly be 'Real' - the Halfords brand of city/cruiser bikes.
