so i popped down to my friends this morning to collect
had to break into the shed as the padlock was siezed and rusted
it was like walking into a timewarp of circa 10years ago tbh, just with added cobwebs
i dread to think how long its been locked up, but here's a knackered back tyre for guesstimation
turns out XTSTIMAN was right about the saracen, its an x-ile
silver with the most hideous forks imaginable on it
pics as promised :roll:
between that, some manitou six forks i won on ebay cheap and my other garden ornament* i should be able to piece something together for the wife to go out on i suppose
*ornament i mentioned
secondly to the saracen that was there, there was also another bike in said shed
its a barracuda big mamma with an amazing colour scheme
with me being 25 this reminds me of my childhood and the ridiculous bikes me and my friends owned or wished for in the late 90s
i only took it as i want to use the chain guide it has on the saracen and perhaps the brakes aswell
now im unsure tbh
do i rebuild that aswell, or just strip it and ebay or scrap the frame
anyone know if its worth it??
well the wifes nearly got dinner done now, and then its off into the shed to get this saracen in pieces and cleaned up to see whats salvageable
