Title: 85 MT Racing Trickfox *Finished!*
Post by: Bfellows on January 17, 2015, 03:47 PM

This is the first build i’ve done that has ended up exactly as I envisaged.  Usual thanks to SBD and Del for resurrecting the frame set and bars.  Colour is Ford vision metallic blue paint as seen on many a Focus........  I rebuilt the OGKs as the bearings and cups were shot.  Decided to do a sealed bearing conversion on the rear........ (i’ll put up a separate thread in tech and resto later)

It’s my usual mash up of Old and Mid school parts, NOS, OG and refurbished.  Probably going to sell as a complete rider so if anyone is interested pipe up and i’ll sort a price out.......

Bert
