Title: MT Racing Trickfox Freestyler
Post by: Macmania on November 13, 2010, 05:27 PM
Here's another one to add to the MT stable. This time its a 1985 MT Racing Trickfox (full chromo frame and fork). I'm not normally a freestyle fan but I just had to have one of these in my MT collection.
I imported this from the US but it was missing the correct stem, wheels and tyres. It also had a rather poor paint finish to the frame/forks and the lavender components, so as soon as the correct stem was located it was straight off to Dan.

Got to say once again Dan has worked his magic and it is now absolutely mint. The lavender components are simply awesome  :smitten:  :4_17_5: Thanks Dan.

Also, a massive thanks to Del who has exactly duplicated the original decals  :4_17_5: Thanks Del.

She's also now fitted with the correct Alloy Hubbed Tuffs and Cheng Shin Tyres. Everything else is pretty much original except for the AME Unitrons (wanted to replicate the advert from BMXAction Nov 85).

Hope you like her.
