Very sad...one of the great unsung heroes of all terrain bicycling! 😔

You're welcome, dude...get that frame klunked! ✌️

Pffft!....I guess you didn't see the final top 10 shortlist at the Malverns then? 🤨

I guess I may have to put up one of my rusty jobbies then? 🤔

Re: OK guys...well just to put everyone's mind at rest, it isn't going to be broken for parts and it certainly isn't going to be back up for sale for a while. To put this in context, I bought my first Muddy Fox and first MTB/ATB back in '84, when I could only afford the cheaper Adventurer...

Re: I know this post is two years old now, but have you still got this?

Re: Hi, what length/diameter is the steerer tube on the Surly forks please, and is it threaded or threadless? Cheers

Re: Yep, I might be interested in giving it a home for my son, depending on where you are and how much of a small fee? :)

Re: I picked up a very nice and smooth running pair of 'used' XCII beartraps as a "contemporary upgrade" for my '84 Muddy Fox rebuild, for a smidgin over £40 last summer. You do see people selling NOS mint ones for triple figures, but there's plenty of them about for more sensible money! A pair...

Re: The same bike (I mean the SAME bike) sold for £103 in June! See Ebay item 381302085775. I was watching it at the £30-£40 mark, with an eye to sticking the original SR pedals on my '84 Muddy Fox. Never mind the price, I'm not sure about the authenticity of some of the other components on...

I'm looking for a pair of 9/16" fitting SR SP-468 alloy platform pedals in plain alloy finish, to complete the rebuild of my 1984 Muddy Fox. Photo shows what I'm looking for (but not necessarily as polished as these ones!!!) I'm in Gloucestershire, UK, but willing to pay postage from US if...

...and jumping forward a few years, 1992 Cannock Chase, Staffordshire (before it was full of bleedin' mountain bikers!!!)

...and 1985 riding on (and off) the coastal path at Tintagel, Cornwall.

Back in October last year I promised (threatened?) to dig out some old photos of my '84 MB-MF-26B Adventurer Deluxe when it was new...so here goes! Firstly... early 1984, my brand new bike on Longmoor MOD Training Ranges, Hampshire.

...I'm starting to hate that low brick wall of yours BTW!!! ;)

Old School Hero - there's a couple of photos of my '84 Adventurer (Deluxe!!!) a few posts up on page 28! :)

Classic!!!...I coveted that bike at the time, but funds meant I could only afford the Adventurer Deluxe (what do I mean "only"...I love my '84 Adventurer!!!)

Re: My 'homage' to the original '84 advertising photos for the Muddy Fox range...taken today on Longmoor Ranges where I used to ride this very bike when I was in my teens!!! (I just wish I'd straightened up the cover on the top tube frame pad...but was too preoccupied balancing it upright with...

Doh, I've just been doing my sums and I bought this in early '84 not in '85...which is nice! :) I have even managed to find a few photos of me on it (aged about 17) on holiday in Cornwall that summer! I might have to scan them and stick them on here at the weekend???

Re: I've just finished (well more or less finished) rebuilding my 1985 Adventurer Deluxe. I bought it new in '85 but took the wheels and all the main components and swapped them onto a Specialized frame in the early/mid '90s and stuck the Fox frameset and bars (with levers, shifters, grips) in...
