Fox Condor vs Trail Tramp?

I have a Fox minibike I am thinking of restoring, but I can't find much info on it. It has the 10" spoke wheels, a rear (dick brake?) bracket, large rear wheel sprocket, 1-spd jackshaft, chrome handlebars bolted (and now welded) into the fork tubes, front springs exposed (probably not original) no tank, front and rear fenders, and tubular swing arm. I did find one brochure that shows a "1429 Condor" pic that looks like it, but from the description on that page it sounds like it could also be a Trail Tramp. Anyone know where I can get more pics or how I can better identify what this is and what it's supposed to look like? Thanks.

trail tramp looks the same but it is a 2 speed, and has a front disc brake from the factory, and has lights. Its actually the same a street scamp but with knobby tires.

Thanks, I have the same frame and knobby tires (the front one says "Fox" on it). but I have no lights or rear bar, no front brake, and a 1-speed jackshaft. My fenders look like the ones in the pics, but they are black (probably repainted?) So I am assuming I must have a Condor (model 1429)?

Once I see what the whole bike is really supposed to look like, I will decide if it's worth restoring. Not sure what it's worth or how rare it is, but I'm guessing it wouldn't be cheap to put it back to original. The part I would really like to put back on is the gas tank, though.

BTW, do you have a RH side shot you can share?

Thanks again, CS.

Cool, thanks all. :thumbsup:
My first Fox. Looks like they were well built bikes.
I do have a clutch brake on the Briggs for now. Is there a disc brake available today that will work on the Fox? I have a recent Manco replacement one somewhere in the basement, I'll have to look for it.

I think its a Street Scamp and it's missing the 2 speed clutch set up. I basing this on the clutch cover and the front and rear disc brake head and tail light and the rack it's a street scamp.

That I believe is actually called a Trail FX and the trail tramp was the "next level" with 2 speed and front disc.

None of that matters though, the original poster's bike is the condor if there are no provisions for headlight or taillight.
