I think it is a 1987 model. Got this a short while back but I have bike similar so here it is, infact do I prefer this over the Marin? Not sure so the muddy Fox is for sale.
Spec
Brake calipers/levers: Dia compe these look period and are probably original
Shifters/mech: Suntour friction again these look orginal
Chainset: Sugino VP130
Freewheel: 6 speed 14-28T shimano does not look orginal
handlebars/stem/grips: muddy fox is stamped on the bars, the stem look original and so do the grips
Cables: I doubt these have ever been changed but they work so I have not touched them.
Hubs/wheels: Muddy fox hubs and Arya rims. Wheels are straight and hubs run free with no play. the front hub has been serviced by myself (new grade 10 balls popped in) and there is no cone or hub shell pitting.
Frame size is 21"
Tyres are Continental Travel contact (used but good) as the original rear is now in the bin. the oringal front is O.K condition and will be sent with the bike. Also a rack and rear mudguard have been removed and will be sent with the bike if you want them (other wise the bin beckons for them).
There are some paint chips (plenty on the DS chainstay) but the frame is sound and it rides well.
Given the good mechanical condition but not cosmetically perfect condition and orginality, the price is £180 shipped o.n.o in mainland u.K. Shipping to NI or the republic can be arranged but will cost more as would shipping to Isle of Skye and the like.
