94 Muddy Fox Monarch Ultra

Cool! Much like the dream/spec lists many of us made back in the day after rifling through the mtb mags 🙂
 
Currently corresponding with everyone's favourite decal maker Gil_m and just sent some measurements...which I'll leave here for reference in case anyone else does up a mid 90s Fox in future:)

The 'Muddy Fox' decal with the paw is 313mm in length. The letter height is 25mm with the paw measuring 30mm...

Today's a good day. Brakes cleaned, greased and mounted. Headset greased and forks on. Stem's just holding them snug until a locknut/brake hanger arrives:)

Fred Salmon stem looked a bit oversize...so got a Tioga which has cleaned up nicely.
XT shifters that I tried are from V-Brake era so don't get on with cantilever levers(!) Bunged on some X-Ray Gripshift but I'm not convinced. They look a bit bulky (not pictured BTW!). I'm thinking I need to get some93/4 XT shifters!
Happy with this combo though:)

I've been on the lookout for some touch-up paint. I have a page in a notebook which consists of reg' numbers from cars I've seen that look about right! I think I might be more insane than I thought I was! (Just in case you're wondering: there are paint sites where you can enter a plate for a colour match!)😜
