Had the first ride out on my latest purchase today.
Saracen Kili Team from 1997
It needed quite a bit of work. Removal of all the peeling decals was fun. The chainset, chain, cassette and jockey wheels were worn out. Headset had shredded bits of ball bearings in it. Had an odd set of wheels on...
123mm English 68mm
The BB-CS20 could be asymmetric so a modern sealed cartridge one may need to be different size. Here's a photo of it apart. The adapter cup (black plastic) goes on the drive side and the steel cup / shell goes on the non-drive side.
Hi, thanks for the interest. I'd prefer collection as I don't have any packaging large enough for the wheels and I wouldn't want them getting lost or damaged in transit.
Looking for a set of square taper Shimano 4 Bolt 104/64 BCD
Don't mind if it's a modern Alivio / Deore set
170 172.5 or 175mm
No Octalink or Hollowtech types though
I have a set of rings looking for a home.
Mavic SUP 217 26 Inch Front Wheel
Shimano STX RC Hub
Shimano QR skewer
Quite well used, hub runs smoothly and braking surface shows wear commensurate with age but still plenty of life left.
2x 26 inch vintage tyres included 1x Ritchey Alfa Bite 1x Conti Leader Pro

I bought this 1997 Saracen Kili-Team from the car boot sale last week.
Poor thing has has a hard life.
I've stripped it down and it needs a few new parts.
The chainset is a Deore LX FC-M569.
The fitted BB was a UN-72 108mm, which seems a bit too short for a triple.
Seeing as the chainset...
I picked these 8 speed STX shifters up last week on a 1997 Saracen. The rear shifter is missing the bottom cover. The retaining screw is there, so not sure how the previous owner lost the cover. The covers are L/R specific so a front shifter cover won't fit a rear shifter.
if anyone has a set...
Having looked at the headset more closely the top race is really worn, the cage that held the bearings had broken in half, the rollers in the bottom race are quite worn too and one is completely missing. I'll fit a new headset, but not a Fuzzy Logic one.
