BBB (Bargain Bitsa Bike) SALE AGREED.

[oldave]

Saracen Kili (one of the blue and white ones that appear here occasionally - Tange Prestige apparently). Cosmetically excellent Judy XCs (bit firm but that might just be my <9 stone) little used.

27 speed - XT shifters, LX/Deore mechs, old but good LX c'set. Old black Parallax LX hubs on Deep Vs (rear rim with a dent, but ride fine). Velociraptor 2.1s (as big as can get in rear without damaging the stays). Easton bars, Race Face stem. Red DX brake levers, newish LX Vs. Blue WTB Slimline.

Red, white and blue colour scheme!

Fraction over 19" seat tube (c to top), 23" virtual top tube.

Rides very nicely.

Doesn't incl Pump! Good steel "bike" for only £115 - BUT collection-only Nottingham (though I'll deliver/meet 25 miles for free).

I'll add more photos if any interest! Thanks.

I have a mate who may be interested, and emailed him the pics. Will get back to you ASAP. Could any one collect and post to me if he wants it?

interested here, does it have the wishbone rear stays, do you have any more pics and info on the frame, why you think tange prestige etc.

I have seen the red white and blue saracens no name frames but not this one

 

[oldave]

Easy bit! I know that it is/was one of the "red, white and blue" ones because 1. when I bought the frame (on here, but I can't remember the seller) I had seen pics of it in original paint and stripped (the "S" in rear face of top tube clearly filled in) and 2. it is IDENTICAL to my other "red, white and blue" one which is my best bike. That was the reason I bought it - one of the best frames I know!

Here's my best one - owned longer that any other bike I've ever had!

As to Tange Prestige, no proof - simply what I've concluded from discussions on e.g. Early Saracen Lovers Anon!

Not wishbone - came later I think, as on my Reynolds 853 Kili. I'll stick a couple of extra snaps up - but I'm thinking I should probably strip it and keep the frame as a spare - all the parts can be posted, unlike the complete bike which is too much bother.
