That Velocitech Mountain Machine looks great ... like the love child of a BMX and a Moulton

"Radical" is so often claimed with little justification - not here though!

Jamis Diablo's Muddy Fox Seeker 1984

I don't have the illusion this humble Muddy will ever win, so tough month or not doesn't matter for me
But I still want to enter it because I took it for its first proper ride after I bought it a few month ago and it was really a big joy.
A very smooth and comfortable ride and it held up very good.
The oldest bike and best ride I had so far.

EDIT 09-29: I made some (slightly :roll: ) better pictures today.

Eight down.. seven to go

The fox and brodie are both really nice, but you need better pictures I reckon. Don't do them justice.

I know... maybe this weekend
