Re:

that looks awesome, when i got mine the paint was terrible so i sent it to Argos for a repaint which was great but obvs never gonna be exactly right (but i don't mind that) i built mine with XC pro/Xc comp originally but now it's 8speed black LX with canti's which looks nice against the bright green paint.

i don't ride it very often but i don't think i'm ever likely to get rid of it as it's just cool

31 years or so and the paint, although chipped, still looks like this

The original tires are useable!

I dont have the original MF bars/ grips/ saddle or stem but heck, the frame is so clean and bright it doesnt matter

The 400LX groupset is the cleanest I've seen in years

Hope you like it - it is way too small for me so it will be cleaned, put back together and sold at some point. But not yet, I need to bask in the grellow just that wee bit longer

Gorgeous!!! A work of art

She’d looks remarkably organised. Have you been tidying?

Looking forward to the result.

It will be winging its way on to new owner soon and I hope they will be very pleased with it

Looking good LGF. I'd love a Muddy Fox in the collection...must...resist.

Out of interest do you replace one spoke at a time or dismantle completely before rebuilding? Never sure what the best technique is to avoid too much stress on the rim... especially if there's a high risk of frozen spokes etc.
