Saracen 1988 kili flyer comp

Photos to come, need to charge my iPhone....

Real mix of parts, and clearly has a bit of history


The rack is junk, but the guards are okay. Need to remove the u lock and holder and then get the chain off

The handlebars are tragic. So is the saddle

Obviously someone tried to make a sit up and beg shopper out of this. So that will be coming to an end.

However there are some other spec details that need further investigation. ritchey seat post, xtr brake cable outers!! Hg50 hubs and sun rims, onza porc tyres, specialised stem and rings. Also low profile m650 (I think) cantis

The rest is m730, which I assume is catalogue
 
So tore this down tonight. Its filthy, sticky, horrible.

The paint and decals are all over the place, someone has tried to touch it up with blue paint, and it has a handlebar ding in the top tube.

The left hand brake lever is bent and the right hand thumbie clamp has gone...and the back wheel is 7 speed, 135 OLN shoved in.

But hey, it all came apart without too much drama, and the fork appears to be fillet brazied too - nice.
 
Re:

Anyone got any tips on rethreading the rear brake cable? Have left the existing outer in place at the moment as I thought might need to use as a guide

Cheers

Re:

Cable will push through if you take that out else use a piece of string and a hoover when replacing it and use that as a guide

T cut looks good
