Re: Have to agree with the majority and say I think the bike looks great and I love the colour. Not quite sure why some feel the need to post negatively. Was fancying a Specialized but could be persuaded to go for an Orange now :facepalm:

Re: The bug has well and truly bitten I have a road and tourer project stashed safely away in the attic, out with the wife's sight. I really want to do a Specialized build but saving so I can do it properly. I was looking at those grips however I am struggling to justify the price tag. I...

Thought I would take the opportunity to post a pic of my first completed project. Unfortunately I do not have any of the before pictures as my phone kindly deleted them all. It's a 1986 (I think) Muddy Fox Courier, everything is original apart from the saddle, seat post, cables and grips...

My rear derailleur seems to be missing its barrel adjuster. Does anyone have one suited to a sun tour 5000 series rear mech? Please pm me if you can assist .

Looking for a silver 1'' headset top cup and lock nut for my Muddyfox Courier. My current headset is an Epoch threaded self adjusting headset. PM me if you can help. Thanks Peter

Thanks for all the the responses to my post. I think initially I will get the wheels checked over and then put all the orginal components back on, replacing the brake and gear cables. Dropped the frame and forks off to be powder coated today and the wheels are going in for a check over...

I have recently inherited a 1987 Muddyfox courier and stumbled onto this forum while researching parts for it. I've been really impressed with the bikes on display. This is my first project and although I don't want to do a complete restoration I'm keen to use some of the original parts. It...
