97/98 muddy fox monarch team mfx all chromo bought it of ebay for 30 quid. not a top end sought after one but who give a bollocks.
the bike was canny rusty, spokes totally rusted etc and a bit knackered so decided to use it to learn,
new bb, chain, headset, handlebar, brakes, cables, thumbies (had grip shift originally)
i already had grips, stem, seat
kept the brake levers, derailleurs, cranks, pedals (last owner had white on thought it looked mint so kept, cranket etc.
fully greased and cleaned inside etc.
came with the original ritchey tyres but too nobbly for me commute so put on a green sim works tyre on front (too expensive) and a slick conti contact speed on back to counteract.
prob spent 220 quid overall.
hope u like it im really buzzing

Sachs chainring spotted, damn I love how those things look. Also how does the simworks ride? what is it like off-road? I’ve been looking into getting a pair.
Howay lad, cracking job.
At first glance the seat stays made me think it was a schwing. Cool find.
Looks so good 🤝
Please don’t take this badly but I was waiting for the “after” picture. I can’t believe you’d rebuild a bike and leave the tyres so diametrically different! It looks a bit “parts bin special” but still gorgeous.
Whats the stem length?
An eraserhead version of the head shok decal would be so good
Noice!
Eraserhead is the appropriate sticker. That front tire could be gold.
