Thought I had a closer pic of the decals, ah, here it is...

top work fella, love the colour, and the name, but i like the attention to detail with the spec, RITCHEY...........everywhere...

need a spec list now mate...

I finished the preliminary build on my Saracen e-stay on Saturday, so took it for a spin on Sunday....



It's got some nice NOS black ano Alesa rims on the way and will be getting stripped down and a proper re-build thread while the wheels are being re-built.
My first impression of it was.....love!!

On the attention to detail ..... That rear cable .........

Seroiusly this is a great looking restoration and only cool Saracens have their names changed
