help needed to find details on muddyfox

[muddyf1]

hi guys i need some help i just buying a muddyfox alu ultimate hardtail ,now i,m not sure on what year and the frame is a bronze colour.Now i do own a muddyfox alu team bike (£1600) which is rare but is around the year 2001-2003 which has a brace bar on the frame where rear disc mount is ,but also has v brake bushes...
Now bare with me the 2 frames are the same wishbone rear (square) arms but alu ultimate doesnt have the brace bar and also no bushes for v -brakes this is where its even stranger the disc mounted is on the lower wish bone (not on the top like normal i.s mount) like some new design frames so my question is , is this frame new or older than the alu team what year and i cant find any details on the net so far would it be top of the range being ultimate ......

i like some help if any pics will come soon once i get other frame thanks again :roll:

Re:

I have an alu ultimate, very dark blue colour I think it's a 2000 model. No v brake mounts just disc mount on the lower chain stay.
Here's an image https://www.dropbox.com/sc/6uykyz42ojka ... bi0LHGC6la

This retailed at £2k when it was released and came with pace rc36 forks with I snapped! Also has hope pro discs and hubs as standard
