Brighton to Macclesfield??? 87 Saracen

For Sale - Saracen Kili Flyer 1987

So my trusty old beast now needs some serious attention that I can't give it. As you can probably see, the drop out has completely bent back 180° I want it to go to someone who will fix the frame rather than just strip it. Or at least will make sure it gets fixed and used. Putting a price of...

Paul is going to take on my Saracen project.

It will take me a while to sort out postage and only a minute to post this thread.

Anyone travelling in the general direction from Brighton to Macclesfield? Or a decent chunk of that journey.

Many of us know each other on here but if it's a new name then your offer will be hugely appreciated and I hope you won't mind if I do some verification.

Thanks for reading!

I'm the Paul in question here and I should be able to meet up with anybody who can help at least part of the way.

Thanks for posting this up Joe.

Good point Paul, I don't mind driving somewhere local, and in fact I need to do some things in London fairly soon so that may be an option too.

Just another mention in case anyone's doing this journey.

Paul is in no hurry and my summer has got very busy so it's on the backburner.

I'll box it and post it at some point but thought I'd mention again on here...

It may well come to that...

Me too. Not going to lie, I'm a bit disappointed now

Well I'm doing a 600km Audax tomorrow, so cycling from Brighton isn't beyond the realms of what's achievable.
Unfortunately, the damage to the frame makes it currently un-rideable.

Hell, how long is that going to take!? I'd be knackered driving 600km.

I'm assuming it's an all-weekend event.
