I’d be interested in the wheels if you split and would post

Hi, Looking to put a rigid fork on a 2005 explosif. Seems the best option is for a suspension corrected P2. Does anyone have one knocking around?

Hi Alice, Sorry to hear of your loss but you’ve found the right forum for help. I think it was around £400. I’d be interested your frames and bikes. I saw the red one as well - lovely bike. Best, Paul

I had a good look at this a few weeks ago. Don’t think it’s an Evans, more like RBG has said late 80’s Saracen with the internal cabling. Nice frames though and this has some nice bits.

Picked this up locally last night and thought I’d share on here as it’s an unusual one. Raleigh Special Products Genuine original dyna-tech racing branding but Raleigh Optima tubing! Serial number has an E prefix which puts it about 1994/5 I think. Mix of stx rc, Shimano XT, shimano SRT300i...

1989 Saracen Conquest

Thanks for the heads up Puul. I’ve not seen a green one before - I like it but it’s big and a 5hr round trip. Looks like an 1986 to me. I’ve got an Evans one from that year. It might just be the angle of the pics but the angle of the head tube looks more upright than mine. Anyone know what that...

Lovely thing. Just asked about shipping but it’s collection only

Amazing. I bet those bikes have been together since 1984/5.

Just wish it were bigger

Looks quite small doesn’t it

Perhaps it has callipers and skinnier tyres

Would it have had drums originally?

What’s the deal with the lugged Roy Cottingham frame - listed as a racing mtb - no brake bosses. I’m a sucker for lugs so thinking through brake options
