    The company was bought in 2001 by Universal cycles I think. There was another brand called silver fox which were cheap "look-a-likes". Looks like Universal kept the name and started making crap bikes with it.

    Used to have a Muddy Fox, the bike in that picture is a different kettle of fish.

    its a BSO. Save your money and up you budget a bit. A bike like that would break your heart if you were putting up any more than 10km a week, dont think of taking it off road, it just wouldn't take the abuse.

    A guy I know has a silver fox, bloody thing is a death trap imo

    The first link is your bike there... http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.208-9033.aspx

    The original ones were some of the first mountain bikes to have a wishbone seat-stay, very cool at the time.
