Following on from Joff's MT Racing Juniorfox last month here's one of two that I have. Massive thanks to Gaz (Poolysheriff) for sending this to the Macmania MT stable :4_17_5:
Anyway, its a 1985 MT Racing Juniorfox (Full Chromo). These bikes were available complete or without some components such as the wheels and brakes etc.
When I got this it was more or less complete but it was missing the original seat, wheels/tyres, grips and pedals. This particular model must have been intended for 20 x 1.75 wheels (also available with 20 x 1 3/18) as the brake calipers it came with were ideally suited for this size of wheel. I prefer 20 x 1 3/8 wheels on a Junior build so I have changed the brakes for a rear only Lee Chi caliper which was also available on this bike BITD. The pedals, tyres (Cheng Shin) and grips are all factory spec items. The thing I am most pleased about is the Viscount Mini Aero seat :shocked: which I managed to get hold of - again a factory spec item.
Hope you like her :)

for an old school bmx site i cant believe that this bike has had 19 different comments off people and has had 250+views, whats the point of nath and john(bobafett) and others putting so much effort into a build to get so little back, just a ittle "i like it" or something goes a long way to those who bother to contribute to the site, and its always the same people who leave comments, know what i mean :rant:
