One photo of the BB shell would confirm that, but I kind of expect it is a very very firm NO.
Who made the Saracen Ti frames probably deserves a separate post. Most likely far east or UK homegrown via Raleigh.

Parts have arrived that were ordered and some that came via a parts bike that turned out to be a great buy! It never ceases to amaze me how a bike with a Chris king headset, Syncros crank, full XTR and a great frame and fork gets to sunny little eastbourne!
Anyway the grips from @RockiMtn (thanks Frank) arrived within 3 days from Canada
which has blown my mind as I’m waiting for a seatpost from camberley and it’s been 3 weeks. ODI attack pink and green same as the Tomac bike.
Also snapped up a cheapish black Chris King headset which will result in a swap for the silver that I will sell.
Tried a XTR M952 chainset on the bike and wasn’t sure so swap the BB over to a square taper and plonked on the Syncros. More I look the more the Syncros wins! Will put a black outer ring on as Tomac had to ensure colour continuity.
Have a weeks holiday soon so will get the decals on then…though nervous about it!
