At the local tip yesterday I was lucky enough to spy a pair of 6 speed deore thumbies and brake levers that I thought would be ideal for the Muddy Fox Sorcerer I was recently given by a friend, as the 200GS (woo) thumbies on that are knckered.
So a tenner later I'm the proud owner of this.
underneath the blue hammerite it's very yellow and perhaps green and white.
Frame details:
The rear canti hanger is very square in profile.
There's a lug on the seat cluster and the rest is tig'd with unicrown forks, with surprisingly not pressed eyes for rack and guards but really nasty cable guides on the top tube.
serial no is: M9AF12760
spec:
Joy tech 1888 solid (not q/r) hubs laced to Araya rims
GS 200 mechs 6 speed
cup and cone b/b
the deore lx pedals, kalloy seat post & Vetta saddle and deore thumbies and MT63 brake levers look like upgrades
I assumed it was a 'gas tube' frame... can anyone help with who might have made it? especailly as my 12 y/o step daughter is keen to identify it,
and I'm keen to encouage the retro-bike gene in her...
cheers
Nick
