Well, here we go again with another MT build

This time it's a 1988 MT Racing Juniorfox (full Cr-Mo).

Imported her from the US earlier this year and when she arrived she was in a pretty rusty and neglected state. But............after a nice OA bath and a good polish she's come up a treat.
As I already have an 85 factory spec Juniorfox and all of my other MT's are factory spec I thought I would do this one a bit different to all of the others.

Big thanks to Del for the custom decals, Joff for lacing the wheels and to Mat (M5AT) for the free stem

- thanks guys

Sorry for the crappy pics but the weather is rubbish at the moment

Hope you like her.

Merry Christmas to everyone. Ta Nath

Forgot to mention, Joff polished the pedals as part of a parts - part exchange programme

Are the eBay pics still up? You could always nick them from the original listing to give us an idea of how bad it was.

The bike looks great BTW.

Cheers Steve

Yep, the OA was off the bay. Used about 200 grams mixed in a wheelie bin

(enough to do a couple of frames with handlebars etc) and left for 24 hours
