Daz,

Andy (streetbeat) had a Fox - he sold it to a guy I knew and then it went on to someone else.

It was called the Fourstyler after the 'quad'angle......seriously!

my fox fourstyler was hot

(http://www.30cms.net/Assets/drtrickone.jpg)

the low slung frame made it nice to ride
and it didnt have the ridiculous trm seat tube angle (remember people running reverse laybacks on them?)
the frame n forks were all reynolds 531.

the seat post eventually came away from the crappy plate in between the top tubes though
