Super rare Full Chromo 1984 MT Racing Whitefox. Managed to get hold of this frameset earlier this year and as far as I am aware its the first time that one has made an appearance on Rad or the Museum etc.
When it arrived from the US it was a bit tatty but importantly had no structural defects. First, the decals were carefully removed and sent to Del who once again has done a superb job and they are 100% accurate :4_17_5:
Frame, Forks, Stem, Clamp, Brakes and Levers were sent to Dan - not much to say really apart from AWESOME ! :4_17_5: Big thanks also to Steve (Animal) for re-riveting the brake levers :4_17_5:
Some of the parts have been a nightmare to find and it seems to have taken ages - NOS Dominator took me 12 months to source ???
Pics of how it arrived -

How it should look -

And now fully restored to factory spec (sorry about the crappy indoor pics)-

Thought you'd done them all Nath, love to see the trouble you go to in these builds
Sourcing those copy parts is probably harder than finding the 'originals' :4_17_5:

Great stuff Nath, as per. :4_17_5: :daumenhoch:

Excellent as usual Nath. You never disappoint! I've never seen one of these either. I wonder how many other undiscovered MT models there are to find?
-
That looks lovely!I was thinking the same thing myself about sourcing the copy bits,those grips must of been hard to find too! :daumenhoch:

Thanks for the comments guys :daumenhoch:

Grips are factory spec Co-Union and were quite difficult to find. Like most of the components they came from the good old US of A.
What rims and bars are on this?
Hey Andy - Sumo Rims and MT Racing Bars (Hsin Lung) :daumenhoch:
