I have a 1989 Seeker which is in daily use, and a 1990 Pathfinder, which is a frame set and a box of bits at the moment, but was in daily use prior to the Seeker - I swapped over because the Seeker is a better size for me. What did you have?kind of muddy foxs you got?
I have a Muddy Fox Courier in horrid 80s colour scheme, acquired as bear frame and built up with a Shinano 8 speed hub gear. Currently on the substitute bench but it will be back in service in the not too distant future when I re-fit my other MTB with some better components I've gathering up for it. I've put a few thousand miles on it over the years including a 5 day tour.

I hope so as every gym near me wants £60PM +Ashley has just bought some "LA fitness" gym sites and is making them into his own gyms and charging £5pm subscription.
His plan is apparently to acquire up to 200 sites around the country and charge a £10 admin fee and then £5pm there after.
That’s interesting. I was into road bikes when mountain bikes were new, so it was all lost on me at the time, but had mates who between them had all sorts over the years - Marins, Specializeds, a Pace and a pre-Trek Bontrager amongst others, and their derision of Muddy Fox bikes was second only to their disgust at the Raleigh Mustang. When I picked up my '89 (Tange Infinity tubing) Seeker for £30 I asked one of them who had worked weekends at a bike shop if Muddy Fox ever made any bikes that were any good. "Not really" he replied.The last decent Muddy Fox was made in Japan by Araya. Thereafter it was a race to the bottom. They were very promiscuous when shopping around for their bikes from the Taiwanese factories, so there was very little consistency in their quality control. The first year Courier was a financial success but a bit of a liability if ridden hard. More than one rider got impaled in the inner thigh when the seat stay became detached from the seat cluster. Subsequent years Muddy Fox blatantly copied other brands, particularly Specialised and Saracen. The two goons who owned it weren't interested in the sport, only making a buck. They made some terrible decisions - like clip on plastic spoke cover discs and 150mm flat stems, but got away with it because the mountain bike buying public wasn't very discerning. The brand and the company wasnt highly regarded in the cycle trade.
