Newbie with a Muddy fox question!

[jkm_gti]

Hi All,
Been browsing this website for a while now, thought it was about time I signed up. I am trying to find more info on an advert I remember seeing in a magazine some time ago! (I used to be into BMX’s / MTB’s in my teens).

It was for a Muddy fox bike I believe. It was a dual suspension but it shared the suspension between the front and back – Quite an odd looking set up!

I remember the slogan being something like ‘rising and falling as one’. It must have been around 1995-1999?
Anyone remember it?
Thanks in advance,
Joe

That was for the muddy fox intereactive, a full sus bike that linked front and rear suspension.

IIRC debuted about 1995, aluminium pressing made by lawhill (could be wrong here)

Apparently it cornered great cos it sucked into the ground, but odd over the bumps!!!

Excellent, thanks for the info - Thinking back, it was such an odd design.

Googling at the moment!

I had a car with interlinked front and rear suspension (Citroen Mehari - think of a 2CV with a plastic beach-buggy body). If you braked really hard it dived at the back instead of the front - very odd.

I love Mehari's. Have you still got it?

Alas not - it's chassis and space frame rotted like a Reynolds 501 frame left chained to a lamppost for a decade. I sold it to a man from Hull on eBay for £100 - he towed it home and said he was going to rebuild it and spray it pink for his daughter's 17th birthday.

I'd actually dismantled it and he phoned when he was an hour away and asked if it was ready to tow. You've never seen a man work so quickly with a rivet gun and cable ties.

The garage is now full of bikes but we're planning on moving in a year or two - come that move eBay France will be my friend. If I had a triple garage there'd be a DS and a Dyane van in there too. And lots of bikes. http://www.new.facebook.com/photos.php?id=598691470#/photo.php?pid=1013407&id=598691470
