Retro Saracen of the Month?

[Carlos the Slackal]

Have we reached a level where there are enough? OK, so it's maybe a UK thing that so many of us found MTBs through Saracens back in the day, but I reckon it's time for some real respect for the old Saracens!

I mean, just look at how big the Early Saracen Lovers Anonymous thread has got!

So, is it time?


(I'm still hunting for "the one", the original XTR equipped, Ritchey WCS beauty......)

Great idea.

If my hunch is correct, the saracen lovers anonymous thread is merely a single individual posting under a series of elaborately concocted pseudonyms, stealing identities to hide the affliction.

Now the orange thread... Now there's a collection!

Bring it on (awaiting Heathys response )

Must admit that Early Saracens seen to be the Buzz around here at the moment, and is so good to see so many being cherished and even rescued from the Tip.

I think all the NOS frames on eBay have contributed to this phenomenon.
Super-cheap, quality Tange framesets with nice features and good geometry.
It's certainly what got me to overcome the stigma and get back into Saracens.

Yeah Saracen fanboy here.
Still searching for a Conquest Elite in my size
