Ever bought a bike just for the paint job...?

[markjohnson76]

That's what I did today. I bought this 1990 Muddy Fox Courier Comp off of a Facebook ad for £50. I couldn't resist the floor green! Anyone else picked up a bike purely because of how it looks? That low stem is going to ruin my 40 year old back.

It's in great original condition, all there and working. I have the original wheels and tyres in good condition. Going to let them go as I want black rims on her.

I know these have popped up on here before, but seriously, that colour! Just thought I'd share

Harsh but fair Only used colour to decide which used example of a particular model to buy. Some paint jobs are so iconic they become etched in your mind.
