Saracen Conquest with damage

[Sidewinder]

You don't mean the alloy one with blue/yellow graphics (conquest I thought) that is pictured on this site somewhere? bet there is someone on here in that area who could go and get that scan, have you tried the parts collection thread, of maybe make a brand new thread?

Nope....the '91 Kili had a French Blue frame and yellow Tange forks (like the forks on your Traverse Comp)

I've emailed the library and am going up there once they confirm they still have the cats on file

I'm looking forward to a conclusion to this as my 1st Kili was a 91 and was blue with yellow forks and round tubes?( nicked)and my second was a 91 traverse in white the same as gonzales with orangey forks

mmm.... seems as though welding aluminium is a very tricky affair. Discussion here on this forum link

btw, the discussion also contains one of the funniest remarks/insults from one member to another that i've heard in a long time..."why are you such a sandy vag"

PM gravy monster he had his headtube(on a conquest)rewelded might have some tips?

so what the hell was the one my mate had? It had black Maguras, box tubing, red paintjob, crazy graphics and was from around 1991/92 when I had my lime green Claud Butler Spectre

LGF, is this the one ?? (obviously no graphics, magura's and black xt ....)

its on page 20 of Early Saracen Thread by Mikewarner, he raced it bitd and was original colour :? Love the Tange forks

 

[legrandefromage]

'twas this colour/graphics with all black XT or DX chainset, Thumbies, black Magura and I've never seen one since.

Cant remember the forks.

It was aConquest Hydrotech I think it was the comp version? Like my traverse but with square tubes.

if was defo aluminium box tubing as the rear hanger got badly bent and all but came off...

confusion confusion... We'll have to wait until Neil gets that 91 scan, then maybe things will be clearer? :roll:

 

[Gonzalez]

Interesting though that the one I bought was listed as a Killiflyer, he didn't seem to know much about the bike, but knew it was worth something bitd, but maybe the guy who sold it to him knew what it was and told him, that's why he put killiflyer...as Neil mentioned. The plot thickens.
