Never heard off one of those $:-\$

Looks like an SR stem or similar. Large flange hubs with alloy rims. Liked to see more pics later. It'll be a good project to do up.

I think there were other foxbats though, not just the 747, so there might have been a single top tube one.

There definatly was a single top tubed foxbat, I remember a kid at school having one. If memory serves me right they were only sold through adverts in the back of national newspapers.

probably the best thing you could have done.

Not really worth worrying about a full resto, that keeps a bit of the original character of the bike.
