Please read......1st march.
UPDATE. Sad to say, as I've no takers for the bike (even at this bargain price) im going to have split it. Its a crying shame as its completly original and in concours condition....but there it is, obviously no real interest in this old stuff now....
As such im looking for a buyer for the FRAME, FORK, STEM, HEADSET and SEATPOSTS x2 in ONE LOT.
If i can find a buyer I will then start the process of splitting the bike. Other parts including the whole deerhead groupset will be sold after the frame finds a new home. I'm not splitting to be left holding a frame i can sadly no longer ride!
Ideal touring bike frame.......new powder and lloyds decals.
Frame, fork, stem, headset and posts £185 posted.
UK mainland postage only, PayPal friends and family please or pay the fees.....

Sadly im selling my saracen conquest. It had a full full restoration just over a year ago and has done very very few sunny day miles since (less than 200). Kept inside the house since.
Sadly, my back now won't let me ride it, and whlist i could modify it to fit, its so complete and concours, I just can't bring myself to do it. So its time for a new home.
Original spec (except innertubes), full deerhad shimano groupset including some nos parts. New powder and decals, wheels rebuilt, nitto bars and stem, nos brooks...well just see the thread to see how much got done.
The rebuild wanted for nothing and since the below photos were taken in the summer, ive found the correct original pedals and even original tyres! Original seatpost and grips are also included.

The post i put in allows me to ride it at 6"4'...but it really wants a pilot under 6'....say 5'10" as the original post is only 8" long!

85 Saracen conquest....what have i started!.....Finished!
So i bought a saracen conquest.....it was relatively cheap, one owner from new, local, came from a shop i knew exceeding well and was a complete mess! The bikes has had numerous "modifications" in a rat rod style over its life and is somewhat scabby. So why did i buy it!? Well, when i started...
