1987 Muddy Fox Courier Restomod.

Nice job! Lovely bike.

These old Couriers always seem to come up well with a bit of work.

Very nice indeed. A well sorted super clean original bike, nicely updated. Top work! What's the front rack?

Thank you, it's Brick Lane Bikes Lite rack. I like the look, but it is not sturdy enough for more than very light loads.

Sorry, I missed this somehow...it is the original stem, I must admit I am not sure what it is, many of the parts have Muddy Fox branding on them, but I assume it is from one of the Japanese manufacturers.

Nice restomod ! I bet it’s a super fun to ride .

Absolutely, it feels very dialled now, I truly enjoy the feel of the 4-finger levers and the friction shifters...that Dura Ace freewheel also makes a very distinct sound.

I picked up a Pathfinder yesterday, 1990?

I didn't do more than a first rough cleaning and then testing out the tire clearance...up to 2.2 inches should be OK, the rear chainstays rub with 2.4 Holyrollers.

The frame looks decent and will come back to life with some cutting compound and wax.

Cool bikes, and I like the step by step resto pics.
I’d love to have a Muddy Fox with a U-brake. That is classic 80’s MTB!
