Nice find.

Reckon that is a 97 which is near the end of the decent Saracen's.

Should build into a nice bike that, and your not missing many parts to get it on the trails.

It's either 97 or 98. Looks very similar to the HardTrax I've got: --> http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=128407

Decent frame, but heavy.

I think due to decals, headtube one in particular, this is a 98. Looks nice :D

I'd be interested to know roughly what the frame and forks weigh if you know?
