In this photo accompanying a BBC article on apprenticeships. I think they must have dug out a 1990s apprenticeship photo!

I’ve got as far as it’s probably got a chainstay ubrake.

De-stickered 1988 Muddy Fox Explorer in the Background? Just looking at the gun metal coloured front mech = Suntour XCD 6000? And no visible rear brake on the seat stays = rear U brake, another feature of the Explorer...

Might even have the original saddle too???

Honestly I see retrobikes everywhere. There was a house on Rightmove recently that had some lovely bikes hung on the walls in the front room! I was about to post it then realised it could be a member and well just didn’t think it the done thing to post a link to their house.
