    I may have made a mistake! 1999 GT XCR 3000 i drive.

    Just bought this bike, intending it to be my daughter's first adult sized bike. However I failed to take into account the ground clearance! The frame is fine once she's on it, but getting on it is quite a struggle! However, the bike is much better condition than I expected, 1 owner from new...

    Swap Anyone fancy a tyre swap? Mavic High Roller 2's 2.4x26

    Well my original front tyre on the Rockhopper finally gave up, so it seemed like a good excuse to fit this. Looked great, but excitement turned to crushing disappointment when I fitted the rear. Just too big for my frame. Anyone fancy a swap for something a little more tame? Based near the...

    1993 Saracen Sahara

    So, I managed to prise my dad's old Saracen off him! Given it a good clean and service today. It needs nothing, all working perfectly! 100% original, even the tyres. I have no idea how he ever rode it, he is 5ft 7" at a push, I'm 5ft 11" and it feels big! Wondering steering and light front...

    Saracen Sahara frame size help

    Hi all. I've just been offered a very tidy 1993 Saracen Sahara, bit I need a bit of help with the frame size. The Saracen catalogue from that year says they measure their frames from BB to seat tube level with centre of the top tube. So it's a 19" frame by their standards. Normal measurement to...
