muddy fox titanium

I know it's sad but I've actually emailed Muddy Fox to see if anyone there remembers it and has any info.

i'm pretty sure a Muddy Fox titanium was used on Jim'll Fix It

Thats what i call value a mbuk mag in 1992 cost £1.95 and in 2007 cost £3.99, £2.04 inflation in 15 years i got computer mags that cost me £6.99 and back then was only £2

i know its a little off topic like but bloody good value

as for the Muddy Fox all depends on what side of there demise it fell on if its before they went bust and was bought out it will be a quality bike and probably made it themselves if its after they went bust its probably a pile of poop or as said made by a 3rd party for them

the one on my mag cover looks very different, wishbone stay and welded seat post clamp,

I disagree , never heard of a muddy fox titanium , but they probably did not made it themselves , so Merlin or any other name in the business made it for them so cant be that bad .

VERY unlikely to be merlin, they didnt make much for other companies, the specialized ultimate was their biggest run, the early rock lobsters, 5 tomac raleighs & the 5 proto salsa titaniums.

I couldnt and still cant spell Sandwick :?: , so used merlin as an example .
what I meant is that it is not a Muddy Fox welder who did it , it had to be done by somebody with experience , so cant be all that bad .

Unlikely to be a Sandvik either. For the right price though probably a decent enough frame!

The offset on the forks looks too large to be USE although the design looks similar in those terrible pictures.

I remember a few guys I raced against in about 1995 having Muddy Fox Titanium frames. I wish the pictures were better bacause I can't see if the graphics look right.

From what I remember them saying they had to go for larger frame sizes than ideal to get a long enough top tube... typical short MF geometry.

I bought one of these frames from Muddy Fox (Universal) about 2 years ago, NOS. ride well got it set up as a singlespeed.

Doesnt ride as well as my Merlin

I remember the Jim'll fix it. Kid wanted to ride a top MTB, muddy fox let him ride the Ti with the Pace Forks, kid got to keep it at the end - result!

On a side note, any one else heard that the Orange Vit T is going to be made again by Linksey?
