I have sent Nathan a PM with a link to this thread so hopefully we will get his expert opinion being Mr MT ;)

Im not so sure on that Ali , Nathan (macmania) will be the one to know . All the MT stuff seems to have been re branded in the UK at some point (Fox Factor) . I have a feeling the importer may have took this project on with no backing from MT . None of the MT (Akisu made or there own manufacture) frames were brazed and tbh all the Silverfox's , Superfox's , The Fox etc I have seen have all had really neat welds . That's why i questioned the welds :-\ . No doubting it's a 4 styler but im not sold on the fact MT Racing had anything to do with this frame .
It would be a good addition to the collection mate , and a rare one too 8) Im pretty sure Phil could sort you out some dropouts if you could find a similar shaped set of donor forks ;)

If you read my earlier post Andy you will see i said that from what i can fathom out MT bikes were re branded Fox Factor in the UK at some point . My main point is there is no way imo that frame was made by MT Racing , MT frames were outsourced to begin with back in 82ish and then made in house in Taiwan ! These 4 styler frames all carried a Union Jack ,made in UK decal . I think the company that was importing the MT bikes into the UK made this as a seperate project alongside the MT bikes , this would also make sense of it being sub contacted to lynx engineering . Tbh that's better for Jono because if it is an MT Racing frameset ......... it ain't a UK built freestyler :D
We do need Nathan's opinion on this as i might be talking complete bollox's :LolLolLolLol:

Just had a look at the ebay listing - how much !! :2funny:
Joff , you are absolutely spot on :daumenhoch:
Jono:
Yep it's at 520 and new ebayer with 0 feedback is still winning gutted but I'm out
NORTY40:
Nice one Nath :daumenhoch:
Think the seller has got greedy ::) ...... watch out for the re list due to non paying buyer ::) ::) ::)
Infact , i doubt it will be re listed as he will strike a deal with one of the many people who have already contacted him outside of ebay . Hope it's you Jono ;)
