Couldn't resist this ebay bargain as it was quite close to where I live and only £33! It looked a bit sorry to start with:
On collection, I realised that this bike had been hardly used, and had clearly never been offroad. It looked the owner had suffered a couple of punctures, and had given up with it. It had been in that garage for 20 years.
After a good clean, and a few upgrades, it looks like this:
Sorry for the rubbish photos, I was shivering
I realise these old Foxes are a bit low-end compared with a lot of bikes on here, but I can't help loving them. Having said that, the frames are really nice, its just the groupset which is seriously cheapo.
Right, enough of that, I'm going out on my Pathfinder, in the snow.
