Saracen Kili Racer question

[Carnivore]

Hi there i'm new on 'ere. I've got a 93 Kili racer at home and have a couple of questions for any owners of this paticular model, as i'm gonna pull it out of the shed and get fit again.

What size is the bottom bracket on this bike? as I took it out 10 years since and lost it. Doh!

I take it Ebay is the best place to source a new rear derailure and crank set?

1. Most likely 68mm English thread. Length will depend on what chainset you buy.
2. Ask here!
And welcome to Retrobike!

Well I was after keeping it as 'period' as possible so a LX/DX/XT chain set would be nice. Any offers to set me one????

Start a thread in the Wanted section. Someone will have something.

Measure the bottom bracket shell width before you buy anything.
A lot of early Saracens used a 73mm shell. The axle length depends on the chainset used. Sheldon Brown's website is a good source of info. as to specific lengths.
