Advertised on here a few months ago, and dropped the chap a line. Purchase made, but possession wouldn't have been possible without the enormous help from tony gti-r :cool:
Not a paint chip on, it appealed not only because it looked cool for a low end bike,but also because it is my size. I can even live with the Exage cantis and levers as they kind of "go" with the bike. It hasn't been polished up yet after it's strip and clean, so still a few marks and residues on the bike/parts, but that is Sunday's job :D
Anyway: ➡️

Cheers.......Nick

Re: 1990 Saracen Tufftax - Mint and MAN size

Remarkable condition. And a proper size for proper men. Saw this a while back? Currently abusing an 88 LE of similar stature. Nice
 
That is big and beautiful. I'm guessing that must be a 22" frame...?
I have one of these with a 20" frame but with considerably more patina. Or rust depending on how you look at it.

I love the fact that the Tufftrax was a top seller at it's price point at the time. All this despite, or perhaps because it is magenta and definitely not pink.

The components and tyres also look mint.
 
Very nice, glad I didn't see this for sale as it would have been too tempting as it's a better size than my current one.

Looks immaculate, amazing bike, but how tall are you?
6f 3" ;)
Just doing a few running repairs to the mint Saracen gel saddle. The cover has gone all baggy over time and i'm just going to try and tuck it back in.

Cheers.......Nick
 
Christ that is mint. I had a suitably minty one for a while - do you think people were just embarrassed to head out on a magenta machine?

Mine was 18" and weighed a ton. Think of it was strength conditioning .....
