Rigid, sadly the NOS Rockshox just don't fit right with build.
Well, it's nearly finished.....
Still waiting for the RC31's
Did a trial build with the RS Judy's and I think the head angle might be a bit slack even with the RC31 @ 420mm. I recon 400/405 would have been perfect.
I hope handling is ok after all this effort/expense :?
Looks quite a stunner no though, I'll get some pic up asap.
Still waiting for Thomson seat post too... none in UK, 6 week wait :cry: so I got a cheap one to be going on with.
Cheers,
Chaser.

Will be worth it in the end my double posting friend 
Finally finished the Saracen [enough to ride anyway]
I am still waiting to get a better saddle and the Thomson SP is 6 weeks away :cry:
Here is a pic I took on my phone while on a ride on Sunday...
I know I should have took some decent pics before I got her dirty but I could not wait to get out, even in the filthy weather.
Rides like a dream, very light too - feels much the same weight as my Scott Spark so I am guessing 22.5 -23lbs
I'll take some better pics this weekend.
Thanks to all for the advice about finishing kit, forks etc... and for following this build.
I think the bike really does pay homage to the latter part of the glory days of Saracen.

Nice result Ian. That looks a real rider and as you say a homage to good old Saracen. Get some close up pics up if you find time between rides!
