Nobuhiko's Vintage Araya Muddy Fox

A few pictures of Nobuhiko's awesomely cool Araya Muddy Fox MTB. When we last shot this bike it was nighttime and the pictures were kinda shit. Earlier this week we finally got to shoot it in the daylight...

We say cool and coolest a lot here but this really is one of the coolest bikes we've seen. That original camo paintjob, the mix of old and new parts...

A Kashimax on a layback post bringing the old school BMX vibes...

That Nitto cockpit, the bosco style bars, the toploader BMX stem, that fucking Suntour stickshift!!!!

And the massive amounts of #basketlyfe vibes going on here just add to the overall levels of cool...

Thanks to the ever amazing Sayaca who helped me put a name to this wonderful bike.

Custom Muddy Fox MTB

Some bad photos of a very cool bike. This vintage, custom Araya Muddy Fox MTB showed up to the Buggylab opening party last Friday...

So fucking cool, Spin and Spinergy wheels, White Industries cranks, Kashimax on a layback post, Primo Tenderizer pedals, Nitto Bosco style cockpit and a stick shift...

We are on a mission to find this bike in the daylight and shoot the fuckery out of it. Stay tuned.

Monster Muddy Fox MFB

Naoya-San from Filterweb has a very cool, very custom Araya Muddy Fox MFB, when we saw it on display at Y's Road Osaka last week we just had to get some shots...

Ready for all kinds of adventure with a Surly fork/Paul hub combo running a massive 4.8 tyre up front...

Naturally kitted out with Filterweb bags and a bit of #basketlyfe action...

Shimano XTR going all the way up to 50!!!

Possibly the coolest Muddy Fox around, thanks to Naoya-San for all the information. Follow the Y's Road Osaka store on Instagram for more custom builds.
