Post by: OldGooseGuy on February 04, 2015, 10:24 AM: Could be a MT Racing Silver Fox I reckon... Toptube probably snapped off the headtube, and was rewelded with added gusset bracket

I originally thought Silverfox but the forks don't look right and would need a pic of the brake bridge to be sure. ???
