As you know by now I like my MT Racing bikes, so here's another one.
It's a 1983 Superfox which I got hold of last year. It came complete as a factory stock bike but was missing the wheels and brakes. The chrome is original and has polished up nicely.
It's now fitted with factory spec Sumo wheels, Cheng Shin Tyres and Lee Chi brakes. The 3piece crank is original and has been re-chromed, the Viscount Aero seat has also been restored. Looks more or less the same as the bike pictured in the advert below.
Big thanks to Paul at Custom Colour for all of the black bits and to Del who has once again excelled with the decals

Hope you enjoy the pics.

My current MT Racing collection.

Thanks to everyone for all of your comments

but i'm afraid that is the end of the MT bikes (all 3 are now in the museum). Next comes the boring stuff

Macmania · « **Reply #22 on:** April 16, 2010, 12:31 PM »

Ok.....finally happy with this build now -
Changed the Lee Chi brakes for a DC Tech 3 Lever and MX1000. Sumo wheels have also been replaced with a set of Ukai's. Oakley B2's have gone and been replaced with Tange grips.
And finally a plain black pad set to finish it off. I think she looks much better.
