As some of you guys know I am a big MT Racing fan after having a Silverfox BITD. This MT Racing "The Fox" is my latest restoration project that I have just finished and managed to get a few pics while the sun came out briefly this afternoon.
It's a 1984 TW Model (white frame and fork) and is quite rare as most Foxes produced were the TA model (chrome).
As you can see from the first photo it was in pretty poor condition when I got hold of it.
Everything is totally original (and factory spec) on the bike except for the headset, bb, and wheel hubs which were all shot beyond repair. The F1 type grips, Viscount Dyna saddle, Cheng Shin tyres and the Wellgo pedals are also factory spec items.
Massive thanks to SBD for the powder, to Paul at Custom Colour for the black bits/rims and to Del who once again has worked wonders with the new Decals - completely indistinguishable from the originals. Thanks guys :4_17_5:
Hope you enjoy the pics as much as I have enjoyed restoring it :)

Like what everyone said, you did a great job on the resto there.
It looks really well :4_17_5:
I remember the Fox's from the mags BITD, but I dont remember ever actually seeing one.
I thought they looked good from the adverts, sort of like Kuwi geometry.
I reckon they would be a smooth ride.

Theres a pic in his biography
I will sort pic for you tomorrow. If no one beats me to it. Its not too good a pic but you can see he has a copy type 2 plate and 1 3/8 rims. Sharp (or other) Bottom bracket boot, Odi Mushrooms, Black seat clamp, probably standard fit. Tech 3 LH, again probably copy DC.
