1992 Saracen tufftrax elite

Not high end like other readers bikes but I like it

I had one, lovely bike. Wish I'd never sold it, £400 ish new from memory

I have one although not as smart as yours ! The grey powdercoat does seem to polish up well although the original stickers on the top-tube have faded on mine. These are nice riding bikes made from quality tubing, imo the chainstays ought to have been a tadge wider for tyre mud clearance though.
I previously posted a picture of mine here >>

Lovely, thought these were great bitd. Couldn't decide between this and the grey 1992 Orange Clockwork at the time.

I've just bought one of these, collect it on Thursday

I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. I love mine. Quite short in the tt but it makes it more comfortable

Collected today, some slightly disappointing spec changes and needs some work but I can't complain for what I paid. I'll start a separate build thread when I get chance.

Trying to think what spec changes I would find disappointing, I would say firstly wheels, then transmission & shifters followed by brakes & levers. What are the changes to your bike?

My bike has a non standard saddle, bottom bracket, brake levers. All period correct upgrades though
