1988 Saracen Trekker with 'Double U' frame.

[Trebz]

Hi All

I bought this a few days ago. It's on it's way to me via courier right now. Here's some teaser pictures before I strip and refurbish it.

I already have two Deore XT U-Brakes to fit onto it. I'm also looking at buying a 1983 bollmoose bar, XT M700 thumbshifters and M700 brake levers.

Can this be moved to the 'Readers MTB's 1997' section please?

It most certainly can

Was this the one in Devon?

It was from Ottery St Mary in Devon, yes.

And thanks for the move

Very nice, welcome to the Double U club.

Not sure of the internal diameter of the steerer tube on your fork, I have a 21.1 bullmoose bar, if that's a match let me know if you're interested in a p/x involving the stem.

Bugger. the bike arrived today. The frame measures 22" C to C. I can't even get on the thing hehhe.

This will be passed on sadly. One good thing, it's got a 99% complete period Shimano Deore groupset including the wheels, which is nice.

I had an '88 Trekker in 'Aquarius Blue'. Remember the '87 one being red or yellow and wonder if you may have an even older one than an '88 there. Good find nonetheless.

Pretty, what ever happened to the frameset?

I have it here, do you want it ?

I was just curious, my mind is set for a 22" GT if one ever comes by ever.
