Thankyou very much for the advise. I’m going to start with buying a bar with some rise and then go from there. Il make sure I get one that’s 25.4mm aswel. Yeah I’m really enjoying cleaning up the bike and putting my own twist on it! Like you say for £30 aswel it’s a great bike

Thanks for the offer but sadly I’m based down south but appreciate it! Il give the bar twisting a go though✌️

Like I said it just feels like you’re slightly leaning forward on it with my weight on my wrists. I’d just prefer it if it could be a bit more up right

I’ve been out on the bike at the weekend and I could do with the handlebars being higher. Have you got any stem/handle bar recommendations? I’ve been looking online but I thought I’d ask? Thanks

I’ve just ordered myself a pair of these thanks to your recommendation. I couldn’t believe how cheap they were. I’ve never heard of this company but the reviews online seem pretty good! How have you found them? Any issues? It’s also a great website! I can definitely see my self spending some...

After a bit of tinkering the bike fits much better thanks for all of the pointers! I’m after some tyres that will only be used for 40% road riding and 60% gravel. We’re not talking anything crazy! No jumps & no racing etc.. i just want a confidence inspiring tyre I can use comfortably on the...

Much appreciated! Il give all these little tips a try and see what works. My first challenge though is subtly bringing the bike into the lounge so I can work on it in the warm. Let’s see how that goes down with the other half, fingers crossed😂

After this photo was taken I raised the seat ever so slightly but I guess that wouldn’t affect my handle bar reach too much. I’ve had a search of these zero offset seat posts that you recommended and it makes complete sense as like you said this would enable me to reduce the stretch by a few cm...

I guess riding styles have changed over the years which is not necessarily a negative thing but my plans are to use this bike for days out. Mostly gravel tracks like the Downs-Link and I’m also considering signing up for the London to Brighton. I will have to look into a few minor upgrades to...

Thanks il have a look through the archive now! Yeah I’m really pleased with the bike

So I’ve taken the bike out for a few short rides, although the bikes seems to be pretty comfortable I feel like quite a bit of my weight is on my wrists! Is this quite normal for the bikes of this era or would be some higher handlebars help to solve this?

Hi all As the title suggests I’ve recently purchased a Saracen mountain bike. I didn’t think £30 was bad? I couldn’t believe how comfortable the bike was and it does look pretty nice! There’s something about these 90’s mountain bikes that look cool. I’ve only given the bike a quick spin around...

il get some new tyres on and see how it feels when I take it out but I guess if it’s a tad small it’s not the end of the world. If I’m honest I’m actually excited to get the bike back on the road I feel like it deserves it after all these years! Looking forward to giving it a clean tomorrow and...

Yeah I’m definitely looking to change the tyres/tubes but I will have a closer look at everything else tomorrow. But as a whole the bike is very clean for its age and I’m looking forward to my project! Appreciate the link that’s my evening sorted! Also from looking online there’s different...

Hi all I’m New to the forum but a long time follower! I’ve recently purchased a Peugeot premiere and after looking through the Internet I was just wondering if anyone had any information regarding the bike? Im currently recovering from an operation and thought this bike would be a good way for...
