MT SuperFox/SilverFox specs anyone?

[griff]

Got a 1983 Super or SilverFox frame & forks which I'm currently trying to dig the rust off and bring back to life - buzzing 'cos the only BMX I had first time around was a 1982 SilverFox
It's never going to be show quality, but I'm hoping to get it back looking nice (with the scars and little dings intact) and have some fun on the track with it

Apart from the bits I upgraded tbh am struggling to remember what I had on my old bike, does anyone have the specs for them? (or the SuperFox for that matter..)
in particular interested to know which seats/brakes/wheels were used, remember my old stem was a silver suntour style and the pedals were victor dx copies I think
Not looking to perfectly recreate my BITD bike, but would be nice to get some of the bits if they're not too pricey or impossible to find

thanks in advance for any info 

cheers

hi griff,take it you've looked in museum out of curiosity ,is there anything there like you had 

[retrogeezer]

Copy 7X'S, COPY mx1000's, copy aero seat etc etc. I have an MT brochure I can check somewhere.

cheers guys  

this is the closest I could find to my old bike in museum (one of nathan's of course)


I changed the grips to sharp, seat post to gt layback, seatclamp to suntour, added a suntour headset lock and black z-rims (won't be looking to add zeds)

funny I thought mine had victor pedals but maybe they were wellgo looking at those pics

They were great bikes, really good value for money bitd.

sounds good dave - LMK as long as you let me pay you this time
not in any rush for bits, moving house in May & mrs doesn't want any more bike bits in the house until then   
(did get some v-bars earlier though so having them sent to work)

not done in secret (don't have my own paypal) but no more room in current house for kid's bike bits!

not even for a set of bars    you could put the cooker in the yard

it's ok - they'll have their own room in new house
plenty of room under my desk for now
