I wore my MF padded longs all last winter too. I didn't even wear a base layer. They were warm enough. I do live in the south west though.

I have to agree here. My MTB is one of the very last home-designed/specced 'proper' MuddyFox bikes from the end of the '90's when they still had design teams, marketing and engineers in the uk. They still had a (very successful) British mtb race team too. Then they sold their brand-name to the far-east and the legend died I suppose.
My 'Rock 'N Roll' is still going strong and was a very credible bike in its day...now people just point and laugh.Shame really?

It's funny, my Orange Clockwork is even older but gets admiring comments. I guess it's old enough to be cool...

Hi 3narf,
Yup.....
Anybody who knows anything about bikes looks at my MuddyFox...with Mavic Wheels, Deore hubs, RaceFace stem and s/post, Shimano 'XT' gearing and thinks Wow 'that's a serious retro mtb'......the sadness comes when they look at the name-on-the frame and assume it is just a ghastly 90 quid Sports Direct clunky no-hoper.
It doesn't ultimately matter to me. It rides like a dream even after 15 years and wears it's age well.
