Frame I.D Please

[oldskooldayz]

Hello again

Right so i won this off the bay the other day and must say im more than happy with what i got 

but need to try and figure out exactly what it is 

as it stands its very light in its complete build state

little sticker on the back says Made in the UK BY foxfactor ltd

ive done a bit of a google search from whats on the frame as i havnt yet located the serial and it seems it comes back with MT Racing

Now i must say that from looking on the museum here and the other museum we all know that the front fork dropouts are the exact same as on some of the MT racing frames ive looked at

but the rears are not

the fox decals look very much in line with that off the fox's as well

but frame wise it shares a smacking resemblance to a TRM Freestyler Frame but again its not as the rear dropouts are not the same at all

Anyway who can clear this up or is it a MT racing fox freestyler

plus im really tired of looking through museums at frame to try and match it

TRM?

Fox 4 Styler

hi, not convinced its trm but is probably wot it says on tin,a fox ,those decals look original  tho, im sure you will know by end of day what it is,
bike looks great though infact after a bit of resto will look better and tougher than a trm,provided it isnt one ...

Used to have a review of this in a Freestyle BMX but it went to JimmyP - you could PM him to ask for a copy.

I really liked the side view of these frames but hated the 'sausage holder' gusset between the DTT  

Found a link to say the The Ruler has one too...

Sorry guys just woke up to find all your replies

big thanks for the research ed209 i will contact him to see if i can get a copy or a couple of pics of it

im glad it is what it says on the tin and just need to give it a good clean and get the colour them sorted to just green and white

ive got a nice spanking set of dia compe in white that will work a treat on it 

just out of interest what are the handlebars  ?? Haro Dyno Gt Skyway anyone know

i rode it home in my suit yesterday and got some good looks

Bars look like 86/87 Haro Freestyle bars 

[oldskooldayz]

Cheers i was hopeing they were haro 

couldnt see any markings on them for any of the others anyway

As stated above its a Fox 4Styler manufactured by Foxfactor (UK). Nothing to do with MT Racing (Taiwan) though 

[oldskooldayz]

over on bmx museum under mt racing comes up all the fox's hence the link

cheers

There should be knurling in the stem clamp area 

[oldskooldayz]

Bars could be Dyno Compe, very similar to Haro's, there are some on Steven Costas sale thread at the mo, or some on my quad, ask if you want pics.
