I have always had a soft spot for MT Racing bikes (bit like Nath :D) , A Silverfox was my first BMX bitd and I still have my original bike which was my first resto on here , looking back I would probably do that different now with the stuff I have learned from here ::).
Massive THANKS goes to Southern Andy who did me a great deal on this bike , cheers Andy ,appreciated :4_17_5:
Just hope I have done it justice mate ??? You can now concentrate on those Two new resto's you have on the go ;)
There's a bit of a story behind me getting this bike as it was originally put up for sale on RAD and John (bobafett) kindly dibbed it for me , when I PM'd the lad he was reluctant to post it and did say he had offered it to someone else who was local. I left it at that thinking I would never see it again :'( Well 8 month's or so later it's finally in my possession thanks to the 'local' man , Andy :D
The bike wasn't in too bad condition when it arrived , mainly surface rust etc . It was fully stripped down and given the good old Lemon juice and tin foil treatment . The wheels were fully stripped down , re greased and then I re laced them with a new set of chrome spokes . Most of the other parts are survivor , just cleaned/polished etc
Must also say a big thankyou to Del, RAD's very own decal master , your a star mate :4_17_5: I might treat you to a beer at BERMingham if your lucky ;) I actually PM'd Del on Tuesday morning with an order for 6 sets of decals and by Thursday they were all in the post on the way to me :shocked: Top service Del :daumenhoch:
Im really pleased with how it has turned out and can't wait to get cracking on a chrome MT Silverfox I have here .
How it arrived .....

Top man that Andy bloke. :LolLolLolLol:
I originally bought it for my daughter but it took me so long to collect it from Paul that when i did she'd grown and was too big for it. I think if Joff hadn't PMed me about it, the bike would still be round Pauls now. Joff's PM prompted me to get off my arse and collect.
Two days later it was heading up North.
Joff has done a superb job on this and i'm well happy it to see it like this.
Mint as hell that is. :4_17_5: :4_17_5:

Nicely done, looks mint.

Joff i have nothing to ride, i have a redline frame in the garage somewhere but i will never put it together in time. I am about to embark on my first build in about 3 years, which will be a rare lil number, i may come and watch you guys ride past though

You can borrow my Kuwahara if you want Matt ;) I should be able to piece my new rider together one night next week .
After seeing some of your other builds I just know it's going to be something special :daumenhoch:
PM on the way to find out what it is :D

Joff this Juniorfox is a little belter mate - i remember when it first popped up in that thread in the race section and I tried to grab it for you (feels like fookin ages ago now :D ) Knew you'd do a crackin build with it :coolsmiley:
Can't wait to see it in the flesh - you know I love a 20" mini build 8)
That garage must be filling up mate :LolLolLolLol:
Especially with a certain cheeky little redline's arrival :-X ;)
-
Great job you made of that Joff, sweet restore! ;)
Looking forward to seeing some of those others mate.
