Just an old Fox Vanilla R, though im just sorting a deal out on a DHX 5.0

Bit of an update as ive not been on here for yonks.....

changed the old dated Fox Vanilla R for a 2011 Fox Vanilla RC which was a vast improvment.



New ‘Charge Spoon’ saddle and ‘Thomson’ seat post…. Much nicer than the previous set up.



Still not got round to powdercoat yet as ive been getting bits sorted for the Ms Isle (daily commuter).

Not my cup of tea, but good work.

Wow! over a year since i posted in here!

Heres a few up to date pics, not a lot changed really, its now got a Thomson seat post and a Charge saddle....I rebuilt it last weekend (after pinchin parts from it over winter for the MsIsle) fitting a new saint crankset and a blackspire chain device, so its back as one peice and usable again:

Nice ride, like it a lot, keeping the old school frame alive.

I missed out on a Patriot frame just before getting my IH.
