Muddy Fox Courier Comp Original Survivor

[vcballbat]

Wow.. dropped off some bits and bobs at the Hospice Charity warehouse on the Isle of Man today and spotted this bad boy. On asking a price £5 was exchanged and it was swiftly loaded into the car.
I'm guessing it's around 1990 and appears to be all original including the Muddy Fox branded saddle, grips, frame bag and even the skinwall tyres.
Looks like I'm gonna need a shell suit and shades.

Re:

Fantastic find! It's the 1991 version, my brother had exactly the same.

My first ever proper bike, knew the catalogue by heart and can indeed confirm that everything is per the 1990 ( not 1991 ) version...

Re:

Thanks for your positive feedback guys, wonder what the difference between the 90 & 91 models.
The paint and components are in excellent condition and it appears to have had only light use. Unfortunately the so called rustless spokes have succumbed to the salty Manx air and may need replacing with stainless.
Here's a few more pictures...

Re:

Great find! Looks virtually unused, just as you say the sea air has corroded spokes and cables, well it is almost 30 years old!
Paint still looks too.
