1985 MT Racing JUNIORFOX !

(1/8) > >>

NORTY40:
I have always had a soft spot for MT Racing bikes (bit like Nath :D) , A Silverfox was my first BMX bitd and I still have my original bike which was my first resto on here , looking back I would probably do that different now with the stuff I have learned from here  ::).


Massive THANKS goes to Southern Andy who did me a great deal on this bike , cheers Andy ,appreciated  :4_17_5:
Just hope I have done it justice mate  ???  You can now concentrate on those Two new resto's you have on the go  ;)

There's a bit of a story behind me getting this bike as it was originally put up for sale on RAD and John (bobafett) kindly dibbed it for me , when I PM'd the lad he was reluctant to post it and did say he had offered it to someone else who was local. I left it at that thinking I would never see it again  :'(  Well 8 month's or so later it's finally in my possession thanks to the 'local' man , Andy  :D


The bike wasn't in too bad condition when it arrived , mainly surface rust etc . It was fully stripped down and given the good old Lemon juice and tin foil treatment . The wheels were fully stripped down , re greased and then I re laced them with a new set of chrome spokes . Most of the other parts are survivor , just cleaned/polished etc


Must also say a big thankyou to Del, RAD's very own decal master , your a star mate  :4_17_5:  I might treat you to a beer at BERMingham if your lucky  ;)  I actually PM'd Del on Tuesday morning with an order for 6 sets of decals and by Thursday they were all in the post on the way to me  :shocked: Top service Del  :daumenhoch:


Im really pleased with how it has turned out and can't wait to get cracking on a chrome MT Silverfox I have here .




How it arrived .....














and after a bit of TLC ..........






































What ya reckon lads  ???


It might even get an outing at BERMingham as it's just the right size for me !!   ::)
