Muddy Fox Pathfinder 1990 Colour Question

[velomentary]

Hello

Would there have been any reason MF would have produced a pathfinder in 1990 in neon blue but with black forks. I've acquired one that is completely original but has black forks. Had one owner and no signs the forks are after market additions. The catalogue version. Had neon blue forks. Thanks

Sometimes bikes are damaged in transit - a bent fork is quite common, more so back then.
My guess would be if it's had that fork from new, MFx didn't have a colour match so sent a black one instead.

Thanks that's interesting and adds something to the bike. Great stuff.
