Nice bike. It is nice to get one of the bikes you would have loved as a kid, isn't it? I would have killed for a Muddy Fox. All I had was an Emelle 12 speed that was about three inches too big for me. I couldn't ride it.
Thanks chris667 , i suppose it is nice to get a bike that you wanted as a kid but i was in my early 20s when i wanted one of these but i'd not long since bought a Muddy Fox Explorer so i couldn't afford a Courier ..
I can imagine you were really frustrated having an Emelle 12 speed especially it being that big as your parents obviously weren't that bothered about wether you could ride it or not

Great looking Muddy Fox Courier Muddy Paw,i always think there's something cool about the early Muddy Fox's they just seem to look write. All you need for that is a new toptube sticker and it'll be sorted,i'd imagine Gil M would have those on file.
Denton cycles up my way used to stock them and they used to have your bike and the Explorer in which was way out my price range.
There's an Explorer on eBay at the minute but it's in huge size,they all seem to be that size aswell do smaller ones exist

Thanks Spanky much appreciated mate .
Yes i loved the Muddy Fox's from the very 1st time i saw a 1984 model Courier up for sale in a shop 5 miles up the road from where i lived

and yes i bet you were gutted not being able to afford a Courier or Explorer bitd as i know i would of been if i'd of seen one when i was a kid but they didn't exist back then and i'd never seen a bike shop until i was 16

..
I do have the decals i need round the flat somewhere but i've not been able to find them since the Mr's did a tidy round earlier in the year as i got the decal's over 12 month's ago before i even new i was getting a Muddy Fox Courier

but yes if i can contact gil_m i may just do so if i can't find my decal's .
Yes smaller Explorer's do exist but they are quite rare these day's although i think my 1988 model was a 18" which i just found a tad big for off road use bitd but on road wasn't an issue and i still loved how it rode regardless were i went on it but i just wish i hadn't got rid of it
