A few more parts have arrived today:
122.5 x 73mm UN54 Bottom Bracket - a UN74 would've been nice but...
Ritchey Logic Headset
A nice simple and understated seat bolt
ODI Tomac Attack Grips - I may use OnZa Porcipaws instead though as they would also be period correct
More coming soon...

Looking good Paul. I must say this model Traverse is one of my all time favourite Saracens and I had been keeping my eye out for one. Look forward to seeing this at OWMTBC.

We'll keep number 92 set aside for this at the OWMTBC...

Should be good when you finish the build liking the colour.
The dropouts look interesting esp the form inside the rear non mech side shown on the pic above the tubing decal

The frame is identical in detail to my '92 Tufftrax, same ovalised tubes, dropouts and cable routes except it's made from Tange DB tubing rather than the much sexier sounding Tru Temper AVR
Wouldn't mind some close up shots of the decals when you have time, as I need a white set for mine. No hurry. May even take my own at the OWMTBC

Some more parts:
DX MT-63 Brake Levers
DX M650 Cantis - Just need a bit of a clean and polish before they go on.
Kool Stop Eagle II pads will replace the stock Shimano ones

Wow :shock: , an impressive bit of Squirrel work their Paul
You should have an absolutely stunning Saracen in the making with these pristine parts, where do you get them from ?
I will post the start of my new Saracen Project at the weekend

If you're referring to my parts hoarding, it's just the tip of the iceberg.
These are some of the good bits which have been waiting for the right frame; the rest is mostly rusty old crap though.
