1992 Saracen sizing

development_cycle · May 28, 2020

Anyone got access to a size or geometry chart? Can't find anything in the catalogue in the archive to confirm the size of the frame I have. I'm trying to sell it on and understandably the potential buyer is wanting me to confirm the frame size.

What model?
What’s the actual centre bb to top of seat tube and centre tt measurements?

I thought I had added Saracen to the lost.

They measure Centre Bottom bracket to Centre of the top tube for their frame size.

The wiki does need expanding, I can edit again now (any one can, I think you just need to ask?)
Even better if you find a reference, I think the Saracen took a while for me to find.

Anyway, it's the same method as Marin.

Re:

Are we absolutely sure it’s c to c?

If so this is the biggest 18” with the most enormous head tube I have ever seen! Looks more like a 20” but according to c to c it’s 18”.

I’m definitely doubting sorry

Re:

Did you follow the link? and then use the reference used to support it?

yes/no?
of not then I'll post a snippet of the bit it link to.

That is Saracen sizing, how they sold them, they will be comparable to Marin and a few others.

it will *not* be the same as Kona or Rocky Mountain describe the frame size.

So if you are used to Kona sizing, then it will seem very large for the frame size.
