I still maintain it will be lighter than the frame it's replacing - we shall see.
I definitely won't be putting a triple on it, priority is simplicity which means no front derailleur.
According to my wife she only changes gear 'once in a while' and sticks to the middle 2 or 3 cogs on the current 42 x 11-32 setup, so the same on the Muddy Fox should be fine.
Sadly the days of this particular
Muddy Fox being ridden long distances, fully loaded, off road, are long gone. It will be ridden to the shops and to work and back. The odd cyclepath / canal towpath on a sunny summer weekend. But then it's not exactly cutting edge for an offroader any more.
