Title: Foxbat ? . Anyone heard of it bitd ?.
Post by: Mattdub on March 17, 2006, 10:15 AM

As above , a mate has a twin toptube frame made by Foxbat .

There's a single toptube one on VBMX in 82-85 , just wondered if anyone had a Foxbat bitd ?. Were they a UK or US company (probs Taiwan made) ?.

LMK , Matt

Omg! I think I might just have an answer to my not tange ARX but very much like arx random forks dilemma!!!
Mine have a toptube parts stamp Lungi and Made in Taiwan.  Instead of a nice bottom bit by the dropout they are open teardrop tubing (which I quite like)
