89/90 muddyfox pathfinder rare colour

Looks great. Reckon it'd look nice with a rigid black fork.
Looking at the frame colours and stem combo, it may of originally come with the super trusty/reliable mfx 500/700 polished suspension forks, but as most of the steerers and/or elastomers wore out people where i lived tended to replace with kona project 2 forks at the time. But as @Imlach says, a nice set of black forks will suit it aswell

id like to replace the forks with ones with a longer steerer so i can add some spacers to lift the height or the bars a tad as i’m 6ft2, if you happen to find one with same color scheme i’d love the info as i can’t find anything

Decals and paint job suggest it's a bit later than '89/'90, more like '92/'93 I think, maybe slightly later still. Looks in great condition.

the back fork and paint work matches the 90 from what i can make out. fella said he bought it in 93 as it was his dream bike and he’s kept it in really good nick

Here's a thread with a .pdf attachment of the 1992-3 brochure, so the fact the fella bought it in '93 is spot on. The colour is 'Burgundy Marble' apparently!
