No canti bridge. Post E-Stay period. Top tube cables. 96/97?

I thought the pierced seatube stopped around 94? I could be totally wrong though :oops:
 
Hmmm.. The canti thing is a good point so I guess '96 is a good guess. Look like ritchey dropouts so possibly one of the Kili family from around the time? Worth a punt I reckon, they generally go cheap :cool:
 
That's an odd one. The pierced top tube suggests no later than mid nineties, but the lack of cable hanger suggests later :? Maybe it's been removed?

It looks a lot like my old Killi frame with the Ritchey dropouts but it's a big frame by the looks. Very nice bit of kit though. :cool:
 
OK it's in my grubby mitts now :D would love to know what it is. Some nice cues: Ritchey dropouts, interesting cable guides, curved end cap to (flattened) top tube with stylised Saracen 'S' stamped into it. Weighs approx 2.3kg for a 21" frame (quite light). Externally butted base to seat tube. 73mm BB shell. Curved seat stays.
