Tried raising the bars and it didn't help enough. I've compared it to a friend's courier comp (20") frame and the headstock dimensions are quite different, witht he streetfinder having a lot shorter headstock and therefore much lower bars.

bought this the other week from Spibblo but I just can't get on with it. its too low at the front for me. frame size is 20" and its in reasonably good condition. £30 ono edit - will get some better pictures done ASAP, its too "neon" for my phone! :D 02/12/11 - sold via ebay for £30

:shock: i think "optimistic" is a bit of an under statment, but good luck to him.

9 miles this morning in and out of town, might wander up the woods tomorrow

bought a bike off him, as described, nice and friendly and easy to deal with.

PM on its way

I need a stem for my '87 muddy fox explorer and I think the one I need is a Nitto MT6, preferably in black but any colour considered. anyone got one?

aww go on then :D

shotblast and repaint will sort the rust. and yeah, its quite the challenge for my first bicycle resto :D

had a few bits and bobs arrive so thought i'd add a picture or two. 1) a few small bits: The saddle needs new padding and recovering and the seat post should be silver but it'll do until I find the right one. 2) wheel rims a pair of correct Ararya rims :D wrapped in an old tyre...

up until a few minutes ago I only owned Pre '90 but I have just agreed to buy a ride of '91 vintage :D edit - in fact looking at the "other 2 wheeled vehicles" in the shed, there's nothing that's newer than '91

I just wanted the bike I couldn't have/afford when I was (a lot) younger. that is now turning into quite an interesting project as I'm finding out what parts should be fitted and tracking them down. with what hopefully arriving today I can add to my project post.

pm sent ref Unbranded grips

26.4 mm seat post please. incoming pm :D

Parts arrived well wrapped and very quickly. pleasure to buy from

got a few bits on-route now but still on the look out for some forks - a bit of research seems to some that the forks fitted to '87 - '89 muddy fox bikes appear to be the same so if anyone has a set of courier/roadrunner/etc forks spare please let me know - however they must be off a 23" frame...

inspirational write up there fella. congrats.

as per: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=166490 i'm on the hunt for all the orginal bits to build it up, but to start with: Original forks Wheels: Araya rims 26” x 1.75“ on Sansin Hubs (non QR) cheers sfsr PS any "period" muddy fox accessories considered as well

Bought myself this the other week off fleabay: As you can see it needs a few bits :shock: the wheel that came with it isn’t correct for the bike and neither is the chainwheel. The SunTour roller cam rear brake is there though and only needs new cam wheels (on-route from ebay usa already)...
