Yours has white fork. Mine has silver. Keep a watch on your build
 
I also believe the '89 had U too. There was some cross-over of spec'/decal between previous and subsequent years.
 
I really love this bike!

Handles really well,got me round a pretty muddy and technical course with no worries.

I did get a fair bit of respect for 'racing' on something so much older than any other bike there (only fully rigid!). I did spot an old Proflex aswell though.

cheers

Cheers And,

I have seen your thread, that's a wonderful 'find'. I had one of those in the early 90's (still have a few bits from it!), the fond memories I have of it inspired me getting this one.

I'm a little unsure on exactly what measurements you're after but will happily get them for you once I Know for sure.

Matt.

i'm interested in sketching up the geometry for the early fox frames.

so in particular it's the seat post length from BB centre to c/line of top tube and also to the top of the seat tube,

then the centre line of the seat tube to the c/line of the head tube.

I have a little 3d CAD modelling ability and may even produce a 3d model of the frame(s).

it's just a bit of time wasting fun (but i may stick the odd fox or two in my drawings)

cheers
And
