Muddy Fox Pathfinder winter project

[cocodemer]

So, i can't pass by an underwanted Muddy Fox from this era and when this popped up on a facebook page, I gallantly offered shelter and warmth.
As the Orange build has stalled, this will be a less deep cleanse, the paint will stay, and the rest will.be getting a polish upgrade and shine.
The Vbrakes are history, I have some leftover xt bits needing a home, sti units, mechs and brakes, plus some mavic rims and, well ill check the loft box.

Autosol ready, set...go!

Cool Muddy Fox and glad to see your going to save it,i'll keep an eye on this build thread.
One of these was my first ever mtb back in 1990,sadly it got nicked a year later. Last year i finally managed to get another one but only frame,forks and bars,what's your plans with the original Suntour parts mechs wheels etc. Reason i ask is i'd like to rebuild mine back to catalogue spec.
Good luck with the build.

That's a cute looking ride, nice to see a smaller framed fox too, definitely deserved of an upgrade.

How does anyone find the time?
A brief escape to the loft, so tiny progress

Before setting about her


First update


Patina








Lots still to do:




Going to get the Tcut out and give it a bit of a polish, and sort out the XT bits, there's definitely a problem with the LH sti shifter, so work do be done. The Suntour bits will be up for grabs, Ill PM you about those
