Re: Just collected..... The original Mtn bike...Courier. + P
So her she is, 1987 Muddy Fox Courier. In my eyes its one of the first mountain bikes, partly because its what my brother had when I was a kid and its what I used to take apart and put back together again which in a certain way lead to what I do for a living now.
This seems to be a fine example, looks all original except from the pedals from what I can see. I popped it in the stand this morning and the worst I've found so far is slightly loose wheel bearings. She obvouosly has a few wounds from the 25 years she has been on this planet, but think she has aged well!
I bought it for my brother really seen as misplaced his one many moons ago and felt bad ever since. Now when he visits he has the perfect beach cruiser.
I will have it hanging in the shop no doubt so if your ever passing......
Cheers
Martyn
