I know... Its Christmas eve! Should really be out having a few beers, but as I'm still seriously hung over from last nights session thought I'd stick my Saracen up here! :?
Back in 94 me and my brother had one of these a piece! Both were red and had Altus group sets! Not the best start but I loved the way it rode, and it looked great as well! Unfortunately these were stolen by some low life scumbags after a few weeks, which I was gutted about - as you would be!
Since getting into RB I always said to myself I would pick one up if one was for sale! Fortunately for me I picked this frame up off RB member crud, This makes me the fourth owner from the site!
I've always been a fan of British parts on mtb's so I have gone down the hope/pace/use/xlite and middleburn route, as you can tell from the pics I have a soft spot for purple parts as well!
I need to rebuild the rear wheel onto a campag rim, to fit a front mech and I'm planning to polish up those tired looking dx brake levers. I may swap these for some x lite chicken stix in the near future though! Got an x lite saddle on the way too!!
thanks to everyone who has answered my wanted ads!
Apologies for the iPhone pics, will Post some better ones when I get chance to!
