I'm not too familiar with the history of muddy fox. So, it seems that quality of their bikes went sideways around the mid-90s.
I own a courier comp that comes up in the 92/93 catalogue, and as it was offered with an Altus A10 I believe this was already the beginning of the end?
How about the frames, was there also a difference in build quality?

I followed the brand untill 1994 (year my brother changed teams and switched to Dean bikes) and in 1994 their top of the line Monarch Ultra was still a fantastic bike: Tange Ultimate tubing, 8 speed Deore XT groupset,... There's a nice example of an 1994 Monarch Ultra around here BTW.

There's a 1995 catalogue here on the site, seems the bikes then were still superb.

Pink Alu is a wonderful canvas.

Long time since I posted here but I am just about to embark on the restoration of my 1987(?) owned from new Courier. Some year ago, the handlebars failed (just slowly snapped on one side) and I had to replace it with whatever I could lay my hands on. As a result, I'm on the lookout for an original handlebar set and stem if anyone has any spares they might be willing to part with.

Here's the bike...



and a photo of the sorts of bars and stem I seek - though these are from a slightly later bike an are 'straighter' but I would be happy with these if they were offered..

mnay thanks in advance...

I’ve definitely got a couple of variations of the original Muddy Fox bars, think there may be a stem in there as well. Will have a look at home tomorrow.
