Orange Saracen Trecker 88?

[agentorange]

Saw a bike I've never seen before this morning. It was an ornage Saracen Trecker, Deore 1 throughout but with Suntour cam brakes instead of the Shimano U-brakes. Could have been a later mod by the owner but the bike looked pre-shimano U-brake. I'd say it was either 87 or 88 based on the finishing kit. It had a matching powder coated rear rack plus colour coordinated orange scultptured stem. It looked great

88 had front and rear shimano u brakes. rear was under stay. 89 was on the seatstays.

don't remember an orange one. 88 was aquarius blue. 89 was pea green.

think 87 was red.

i'd say yours is either a faded red or a pre 87. not sure if 87 ones had shimano or rollercams. possibly rollercams.
