Rarest Muddy Fox?

Fifty squid! Who got it then? Would love to see it cleaned up ready for action!

Better ask @xeo! I’m off to sunny Streatham one evening the week to collect the bike for him. Just spoke to the seller, the tyres hold air so it sounds like I can have a little test ride! I know @xeo has some plans for this one. Good price & project this one!

Yup, Mr 27moterhead has been mega helpful.
this MF1 will play a small part in something very exciting.

Should be collecting it tomorrow night!

Looking forward to seeing this 20” wheeled wonder!

Well, I’d like to publicly state that Mr 27motorhead (Tim) is an absolute legend. He only went and collected said Muddy MF1, he strapped it to his back, rode home, and boxed it like a pro, so my courier could collect.

I have unfortunately been near on overwhelmed in the bikeshop, I’ll get to it next week and some point and put more detailed pics up. Come winter I’ll fully restore it

Cheers !

Cristian! You’re most welcome! Was hoping to have a little ride if the mini-mean-green-F1-machine before I boxed it up, but I ended up stripping so many bits of it to avoid damaging paint/wheels that it never happened.

Was good to test my ageing body to see if I could cycle with the bike tied to my trusty PAC messenger bag along with a load of tools I took just in case I needed to dismantle, which I did end up using! I reckon it must have weighed about 18kg all in, but still managed the 15 mile return trip on my fixed gear zipping through traffic OK!

Really looking forward to seeing this beauty tidied up! I leave you with this chainset shot which I absolutely love

That crank is nuts !! More pics ..

Ive got my work cut out no doubt !

 

[27motorhead]

It’s in good hands now @Cristian-T! You’ve got the skills & tools, although that seatpost is gonna need a bit of coaxing out! It already has some mole grip marks (or something similar) on it from previous owner. Lots of lovely details and bits on this bike!
