Saracen 853

[fredgassit]

Bought the frame on here last year from Jerky and had it powder coated in a sort of putty colour, but it doesn't show well in the pic.

I had the Crossmaxs already waiting for the right build - need to true the rear but will have to borrow the LBS's spoke key for a wee while.

I've had the XTR bits from new when it came on a Univega RAM 990, can't remember when or where the other components came from but they were in the garage.

Not ridden it in anger yet but a trip up to Woodbury Common awaits.

"Blinded by the white"?

Sorry, just coming around this morning, love these frames - can't imagine what could be cleaner, simpler, more 'correct' as a minimalist steel beauty, just lovely!

I have a magazine review for one of these frames.

Came out as being highly regarded.

I certainly loved mine

[konatime]

Is the wording 'stout lite seatstay/chainstay' refering to the more obtuse rear triangle or something else i'm ignorant of? ......anyone?

So did this get to see Woodbury or not?

Wondering how you got on with it as these are amongst my favourite saracen did.
