did you see this thread?

I believe Simon from Saracen has all the catalogues and he is intending to upload them :D

Just to set the record straight – this is our first Cr-Mo prototype.
Its hand made by Mark Reily of Enigma, in the UK, to our geoemtry and frame spec. So its not “just a rebadged” Enigma. We went to Enigma because they build first class frames and are trying to keep UK building skills alive.
Frames or bikes? Good question. We’re looking at both options + different colour options! The purple one looks very very nice but for me its the mint colour attached – How much did I want that bike when I was a nipper??!!? The colour of this one is from the 1988-89 catalog, all of which I am lucky to have on my desk lol.
Saracen never did a £60 full-susser for Halfords. And under Madsion the 2010 range will not be sold through Halfords.
Right, I guess I better get over to retrobike and get the saracen catalogs up.
Cheers
Simon


John may have his email if you want to give him a nodge, could save you a long trip :D [/quote]

I did get quite excited when, after a whole week away without the internet, I came back to see this thread back at the top.

Hopefully Simon at Saracen will upload his catalogue stash to an eagerly expectant public.
I might consider looking at buying a new bike if he does...

Excellent work Neill. When are you visiting Saracen HQ? It's very good of them to let you loose in the archive...

This month hopefully.....they seem ever so slightly concerned I might spy on their prototypes, the thing is I wouldn't even look if they were in the same room as me, modern bikes don't float my boat 8)
