Hi,
Long time lurker of the rat fbnpna threads. Just moved to the UK from NZ via Australia and quickly picked up this Muddy Fox Explorer from Gumtree. Was planning on super ghetto dirt drop job, but long story short, the stem and seatpost are stuck, I have no tools, no spare parts bin and not a hell of a lot of money to be performing the wizardry needed. Could make a cool low rent romancuer/hunqapillar/TomvanHalen's sick flames Raleigh.
Seems all original except for the tires and rear derailleur. Cranks and suntour roller cam are real cool. The paint is a little beat up. Have had a good look at all the rust and none of it seems too deep. Rear wheel needs a true. Top tube is 21" c-t. Top tube is 21" c-c. Standover is 82.5cm on 1.8's. Have the original saddle on my gf's orange but can throw it back on.
Lookin to trade for whatever is on offer. Have been searching for not too shit old 26" steel, 19-20" with a top tube that isn't excessively long. Eyelets for racks would be cool and some butting would be nice. Ugly steel hybrids with clearance for 40c will also be given priority.
If no takers in next few days I will prob throw it up on here for cheap. I am in N17 but could meet up anywhere in London.
