Hello,
Having painstakingly put this Muddy Fox XTR Monarch gravel bike together, I have since moved into a small flat so unfortunately must part ways without ever really riding it. Although one can never truly have too many Retro MTB's one can have too little space to truly justify it to ones partner......
Points of note:
- I've never seen another frame like this, I can't find any information about this frame/ model online, but with the genius tubing, fancy cable routing, fast back seat stays and Ritchey dropouts I get the feeling it's something special.
- The frame has two dings. One ding to the top tube and one ding to the down tube. I have tried to picture these accurately. I can provide more photo's if required, these dings are cosmetic IMHO Paint is generally good, but there are a few chips and scratches commensurate with the age of the frame.
- Nearly all componentry is 'as new' (less the frame, wheels, saddle & seatpost). Fitted to the bike and ridden for maybe 5 miles.
Not sure if it's this forums cup of tea but thought I'd see. Not looking to split it right now.

Cheers, as it's set up now, I'd say 5ft9 - 5ft11. Could maybe suit taller with layback seatpost and/or less swept bars.

Hi Joe,
Based in Walthamstow, E17 5LB.
You're welcome to come and have a sit. 5ft 10 here also and it works for me but obviously will depend on torso/ arm length. Probably best to try it out.
Cheers,
James
