Looks like an SR stem or similar. Large flange hubs with alloy rims. Liked to see more pics later. It'll be a good project to do up. :daumenhoch:

Post by: JT71 on May 13, 2008, 11:19 AM: I think there were other foxbats though, not just the 747, so there might have been a single top tube one.

Post by: raidergtt on May 16, 2008, 04:01 PM: There definatly was a single top tubed foxbat, I remember a kid at school having one. If memory serves me right they were only sold through adverts in the back of national newspapers.

Post by: oberonspacefruit on May 20, 2008, 11:24 AM: probably the best thing you could have done.

Not really worth worrying about a full resto, that keeps a bit of the original character of the bike.
