Hi everyone

After some helpful info from lebuski it was recommended I join this thread as I've just bought an '86 Courier for the missus. It's not new to the forum though as I bought it from maverick ! Here's how it stands right now, as purchased:

The mixte frame is really elegant IMO.

Tyres are rotten so I have some modern tan wall replacements on the way. Need to source some appropriate pedals too. Apart from that it doesn't really need anything. I'd originally been thinking of rebuilding the frame with a more modern set of kit but I'm now in two minds about it and might just keep it original. Either way, I'll post more pics when it's fully ready to roll.

Wow, that's a fascinating frame and looks in great condition. You're welcome for the info, but i have to admit, it was the guys on this forum that gave it to me in the first place. What tyres did you go for? I've been looking at Schwalbe Road Cruisers with gum walls, but can't quite make up my mind. Not exactly retro but I've had good experience with them

I stumbled across some tan wall Small Block Eights - OEM from a Commencal apparently. They've not arrived yet but I'll post when they do.

Hi
with the owners permission i thought I would share this picture with you. It's an early Muddy Fox Courier with a BOB trailer attached for hauling loads.

the owner of the bike runs a blog called Coastrider. I've been following it for some time now and he builds and rides some amazing modern bikes, but every now and then he brings out this old favourite. I've asked him to come on the forum and tell us a bit about his bike, but in the mean time there are lots of pics of the Muddy on his blog

Bruce is well aquainted with us but seems happy to stay out of our world. Not surprised, it costs a fortune to ride his modern kit, he cant afford to come into this money pit
