Well, here we go again with another MT build :D This time it's a 1988 MT Racing Juniorfox (full Cr-Mo).
Imported her from the US earlier this year and when she arrived she was in a pretty rusty and neglected state. But............after a nice OA bath and a good polish she's come up a treat.
As I already have an 85 factory spec Juniorfox and all of my other MT's are factory spec I thought I would do this one a bit different to all of the others.
Big thanks to Del for the custom decals, Joff for lacing the wheels and to Mat (M5AT) for the free stem :shocked: - thanks guys :4_17_5:
Sorry for the crappy pics but the weather is rubbish at the moment :(
Hope you like her.
Merry Christmas to everyone. Ta Nath :)

Are the eBay pics still up? You could always nick them from the original listing to give us an idea of how bad it was.
The bike looks great BTW. :daumenhoch:

Yep, the OA was off the bay. Used about 200 grams mixed in a wheelie bin :D (enough to do a couple of frames with handlebars etc) and left for 24 hours ;)
