Muddy Fox Streetfinder, worth doing up for summer

mangojassal

found my muddyfox streetfinder in the attic,after 10years being there,was wondering if its worth riding it around for the summer. untouched since i bought it back in late 80's me thinks.still has the redish orange paint job.
i will try to post a picture later if i can

Here's a pic of one...



I'm a little confused as to why people ask questions such as 'is it worth riding', it's a bike isn't it?

If it's a bike, then it's worth riding.

Those old Muddy Fox frames ride really well. I wouldn't throw yourself into a DH track, but for ordinary trails and light singletrack they are fine.
Quite sad what they have become.

Yup, they used to be rather good back in the day. For general light XC usage it'll be fine.

Really is a shame to see a once respected bike manufacturer become just another BSO piece of junk manufacturer

I see it's rigid fore and aft..
Single speed it, fit some semi slicks and use it to commute

You obviously weren't listening to the RB crowd. You probably drink lager as well. Hippie.
