85 MT Racing Trickfox *Finished!*
« on: January 17, 2015, 03:47 PM »
This is the first build i’ve done that has ended up exactly as I envisaged.  Usual thanks to SBD and Del for resurrecting the frame set and bars.  Colour is Ford vision metallic blue paint as seen on many a Focus........  I rebuilt the OGKs as the bearings and cups were shot.  Decided to do a sealed bearing conversion on the rear........ (i’ll put up a separate thread in tech and resto later)

It’s my usual mash up of Old and Mid school parts, NOS, OG and refurbished.  Probably going to sell as a complete rider so if anyone is interested pipe up and i’ll sort a price out.......

Bert
 
85 MT Racing Trickfox frame, forks and bars
Uni Butthanger seatpost
NOS BMX seat
Peregrine seat clamp
NOS Odyssey 1999 callipers
NOS Odyssey locking levers
OG Uni Hand grenade grips
NOS SR MS-423 freestyle stem
Tange headset lock
Odyssey Dynatron Headset
Sugino CT 175 crank
Sugino A5 spider
Sugino Chain ring
NOS Takagi 24tpi BB
NOS SR SP-519 pedals
Izumi Chain
OGK wheels – rebuilt with rear sealed bearing conversion
Suntour 16t freewheel
NOS Mongoose DMC 1.75 tyres – logos matched the frame.......

Before.........







After a bit of tlc.......



Finished.....















One down, two to go.........
