Just purchased a 1997 Saracen kili comp frame and having never ridden one before wanted to know what people thought of them?

853 with the wishbone rear end?

Great frames! I would say that bang for buck there is not much that can compare IME.

"853 with the wishbone rear end?"
One of the very best!

Yeah thats the one. Ohh thats good to hear then. Is it quite a relaxed riding position like a lot of the 90s mtbs? Looking forward to getting back up and running to see for myself.

I'm probably not best placed to judge "relaxed" (I was already old when I had mine!), but I thought it more of a "race" bike. Instant response when put the pedal down!
In long ago m'cycle days terms more of my Kawasaki triple than the 750/4 Honda!
Choice of fork will I thinkhave an impact.
Have fun!
