Custom 88 MT Junior Build......
« on: December 23, 2010, 02:28 PM »
Well, here we go again with another MT build  :D 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  :shocked: - thanks guys  :4_17_5:

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

Hope you like her.

Merry Christmas to everyone. Ta Nath  :)

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.  :daumenhoch:

Cheers Steve  :daumenhoch:

Yep, the OA was off the bay. Used about 200 grams mixed in a wheelie bin  :D (enough to do a couple of frames with handlebars etc)  and left for 24 hours ;)
