Reynolds 853 Saracen kili? bike split.

I picked this up recently.

19" C-T Saracen 853 frame, Ritchey drop outs, powder coated in lime green, but a little shabby, no dents. I thought there may have been signs of a crack at first but on closer inspection after lifting a little of the paint it is solid and simply where some untreated surface rust had upset the powder coat.




The last pick shows the patch where I lifted the paint looking to see if the frame was cracked... it wasnt, and if wanted I could neaten this up (strip a small ring of paint around the wishbone, clean up, then clear coat to protect it.

Rides very nicely, and I am tempted to keep it in place of the 2010 on one I recently purchased if it doesnt sell here.

Seatpost clamp will be included.

I had one of these for a while and found the ride to be very nice indeed - remind me why did I sell it!! :roll:

Very light frame.

Good luck with the sale

I just tried a 27.2 post and you are right, the frame takes 27.2, however the XY that came with it is a 27.0.

Rojo, Sorry matey forks are 200mm (+/- 2mm) steerer.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Interested in the forks please!

Here's the original brochure. Not a cheap bike. I have 2 of these frames - they are fantastic.

Could I check the axle to crown on the P2s please & take my place in the queue if they are what I'm after

Ta!

Damn these forks are getting a lot of interest.

As a general update the fork specification is
A-C length A/C is 410mm
Steerer length is 200mm
Steerer dia. 1 1/8th"
Tripple butted (has TB stamped on the steerer)

I wont lie to you, I am tempted to put the forks on ebay with no reserve, they seem to be generating rather surprising amount of interest. The whole reason for me buying this bike was to try and recoup funds spent on other projects and allow me to finish some off.

I know there is one person on the forum who has been after these forks for some time, but wasn't the first to contact me.

I am sorry if this seems wrong and not in the spirit, but needs must.

So forks withdrawn from sale.
