can anybody help me with this bike

[philclaire]

Hi can anybody help me identify this mountain bike it has kona stickers on it but I don't think it is one, it has a mixture of ritchey and deore lx xt and xtr equipment thanks for all your help

not a kona. Kona have never had a wishbone on the rear that I am aware of.

Not sure what it is though.

Re:

Could be a mid nineties muddy fox? Ignoring components, it looks very similar to my Monarch Team, but mine doesn't have ritchey branded dropouts.

I was thinking late model Bloody Fox.

Re:

Does look Fox-ish, like this one:

But, I don't remember them having Ritchey dropouts.

So its not worth spending any money on lol it don't owe me much anyway I paid 20 pound for it and 25 to get it working just wondered whether it was worth doing up

it's got a wishbone and ritchey dropouts, of course it's worth doing up....

Looks good for £45. Just degrease it all and give it a proper clean, lose the kona stickers and ride and enjoy it. XT stuff is decent, should work a treat.

Bargain.

Re:

The wishbones had me thinking about Giant for a second. However the ritchey dropouts and the cable guide around the seat tube quickly dismissed that thought.

Whatever it is, you did good. That's a real bargain. A little cleaning and some elbow grease should turn that into a very good bike.

I'll lock the thread in the 98+ section for you because the answer is much more likely to be found here. It's an early to mid 90's bike after all.
