Saracen Sahara - Anyone know some dimensions?

[alexransome]

Hi,

I have been given a Saracen Sahara, It's silver and made of 7005 Alu. What I'd like to know is the size of the BB and headtube. Also is this frame worth keeping, I'm upgrading the components for Deore XT (a mixture of old and newish ... on a budget !!!).

How do hydraulic brakes fix to a frame and forks. Do you have to have a frame that is for hydraulic brakes?

Thanks for any responses.

If its an old Saracen it will have cable guides for Magura hoses, if it isn't you can buy retro fit hose guides that screw into a normal cable guide.
