1984 Saracen 'Sherpa'

Absolutely agree. I've not done much with this one yet (daily bikes have been sucking up the little time I have for working on bikes atm) but I am amazed that it rides perfectly as is and aside from a good clean and a pair of tyres it shouldn't need anything.

I don't think it's seen a whole lot of use in it's 40 years but it still amazes me.

They really don't make them like they used to.

That's pretty cool
Drop me a PM if you need grips, think I have some very similar ones sat in a box.

Thats pre conquests being called conquests.....ie they were named that after the Kilimanjaro record in dec 94. So its an saracen "ATB" if you go by their early adverts!

That was my thoughts to be honest but the reference to 'Sherpa' on the receipt threw me
