SARACEN RAW PRO

[slick1461]

I've not been able to find any information on a Saracen Raw Pro either as a wanted item or any previous sales.

I was wondering if anyone might have some idea as to how much this bike might be worth:

Saracen Raw Pro
6061 aluminium
Shimano Acera 24 speed
Pretty good condition but surface rust on the chrome on the front forks.

Any advice / guidance would be much appreciated.

Welcome to the site.

You need to read the rules etc, but anyway, there's only one place to ask for valuations and that is here:

If you google the Saracen Raw you will see that they arent the most desirable. Also, if search ebay and on the left side options click "completed listings" you will see they dont fetch much at all.

Worse of all they arent retro but I wont hold that against you!

Stick around on the site after you've flogged your bits, might find you like it here.

Erm, I'm going to try and be nice here, OK?

The Raw was a steaming pile of excrement best sent to the nearest skip immediately. It was one of the bikes that, under the Stanforths, saw the nail in the coffin of a once great brand. Glad to see that Madison have, hopefully, resurrected it now though.

What's it worth? Erm...... not much at all I'm afraid.

I wasnt going to be that brutal, but of course you are right. Tarnished a great name, the raw like many of that stinking period for saracen is absolutely horrid.

I have all the Saracen catalogue scans from 1987 to 2007. I can't bring myself to look at anything from 1998 onwards.
They really are that awful.
