Muddy Fox Courier Comp arrived today, heavily faded paintwork with plenty of chips but seems solid. The 7 speed shifter got destroyed in the post sadly however I’m planning on converting this with the tall Nitto stem and flared drops I bought last month, along with a 1x swap, knobbly tires and a rack or two.

I can see why people aren’t fond of cantis too.

“A local teen shouted “nice whip” at me as they passed on their mountain bike“

Guilty of shouting this whenever I see a cool bike.

Quality content as per

20 miles of Bridleway exploring today. BB has started creaking whilst climbing so got that to look at next.

Looks too good! What are those forks like weight wise?

Looks amazing! Will be super cool to see built up

Welp, late night impulse bidding on eBay has caught up with me again. Another green bike too!

1990 Muddy Fox Courier Comp, size large in full working condition for £82. All original minus the saddle and tires! Will probably take over the Saracen’s role as my general purpose fun machine. Should arrive this coming week

Any updates? Dope build.

Thanks mate!

Paramount is next on my list, still not 100% what set up to go for

Planter mudflaps

Feet keep getting soaked riding the Puch, chopped up a plastic planter and zip tied it to my mudguards, which in my mind is at least a level 10 bodge.

Post office, supermarket then bottle shop today.

Fuck yeah that paint looks awesome. Matching stem was a good shout

Thanks bud, she’s a good egg

After a looong day at the specialist vets, i threw in fresh headset bearings and we’re back in working order again. Revisited the trails I’d literally just discovered before it broke, just as it reached golden hour. Lovely and quiet too.

One of my Boston Terrier, Penny, who just beat cancer thrown in too, it’s been a good day.

Popped the fork off, the bearing cage for the bottom of the headset was beyond fucked. No idea how although my father suggested I probably tightened the headset too much! Easy fix thankfully, he’s a picture after I washed off the grease and grime.

Typing this as I’m walking 12 miles home. Was having a blast this morning exploring some woodland before my headset shit itself. The bike now only goes in a straight line. Had fun til then though! Been using this cheap Planet-X ‘PODSACS’ saddlebag, good for my sandwich and raincoat.

Looks like good fun! Doesn’t take much to get these old MTBs looking good again

Looks mean, and good fun.

Awesome. Bars and tires look dope

I’m in the exact same basket as you there mate, it’s a lovely little beer bike. Yours looks a little lighter and comfier though!

Thanks bro!

10 bumpy miles around Norwich today, good fun. Looking forward to a different bar set up.

He looks dead chuffed. He’ll cherish these days!

Love the forks and always good to see another Saracen

So bloody good

Swapping the chainring to the back of the crank seems to have resolved the chainline issues so the Saracen is now running perfectly, I also raised the fenders slightly for more mud clearance now I’m using it more.

Found myself seemingly stockpiling some fun parts which currently have no use, looking forward to deciding what to do with them.
