yes mt racing made these bikes and they were distributed though the importer based in headcorn kent bitd. i worked for them for about a year and was also sposored by them as well during 1986 at superclass level.
oh my job by the way was dismantling the b/b putting grease in the bearings and reassembling it. fullfilling and enjoyable work

Nice buy m8... I only ever saw one of these back in the day. I have a lot of time for MTs stuff. I had mates with Silver and Superfoxes too. Superfox was a nice light ride... Anyone know what happened to their trick fox.... the twin toptube one with the round holes in green?

No...it was green and was in an advert where it was like a space rocket taking off... it was twin top tube and had a reinforcing gusset all the way from the head tube to behind the seat tube in between the two top tubes. The gusset had round holes cut out. Wheres me action bike mags >:(

Post by: retrogeezer on April 27, 2006, 07:37 AM

yeh, that is the fox 4styler, had a tool rack between the top tubes.

I had a Silverfox, thought it was a great bike and excellent for the money BITD, few mates had them too - no-one broke one.

The Superfox Orb has was mine and I haven't seen another with the same frame design.

Have a Silverfox now, will post a pic when I find it later.
