I saw that, is it correct or sellers error? looking at it for a large frame those wheels could well be 27.5's, any other info about the bike?

1989 Saracen Traverse

First of all a big thanks to Retroyetirigid who helped with the logistics in getting this shipped to me. The Saracen 1989/90 range is one of my favourites and I couldn't pass this one up to help get it back to some kind of decent order and also to join my 89 Tufftraxs. Unfortunately, this one...

Went for £67, a nice little buy, won't take much to get that lovely bike restored to its former glory.

They make great commuters or tourers and ride nice and solid.

Well that's all part of this hobby right? Finding a nice bike in need of some TLC for a good price, spending some time and money getting it into much better shape and then either enjoying it yourself and/or selling it on to someone else, no harm in making a bit of profit if it's there to be made, tools and parts don't pay for themselves and there's nothing more valuable than time, and if a classic old bike ends up with a new lease of life while being enjoyed and used out in the wild by a happy new owner then surely it's a win win.
