Nice and there are some good examples on here and also a couple on LFGSS fairly recently. The wishbone on the steel frames is better executed than on mine I reckon (cast on yours? and mine is Ti tubes welded together).

Thanks. I do really like the earlier 93-96 models without the wishbone rear stay..however I do love this bike already. I am definitely keeping it!

So I just about finished the first build of this and took it for a 30min shake down ride and nothing fell off or broke which is always good! It weighs a few grams over 22lb complete, which I am more than happy with as I haven't gone full weight weenie on this, I could switch the inner tubes and...

Ha yes it is a 19" frame, lucky I am over 6'! Stripped and rebuilt the first edition SiD forks today, still incredibly light. Assembling a few goodies, I am keeping the UK feel with USE stem, bar and Ti seatpost (all modern though)

This is a rare beastie. My first real mtb (not counting my 5 speed Raleigh Marauder!) was a 1993 Saracen and I spent far too much of my early teens staring at pictures of the Kili Ultra and dreaming. I've missed a few along the way and kicked myself for not buying a 1997 one on here maybe ten...

That’s awesome. Someone please take this on!

I know there's a lot of flak re these frames (see extensive thread on here!) but that sounds like a complete bargain for somebody.

Very interested if Prezza doesn't want these. Thanks

looks great and the Brooks works so well.

Ideally in titanium but I realise these are pretty rare! Does anyone have a set lurking? I will add a photo of what I am after, but these are the segmented straight-bladed rigid forks, not the curved ones. I need 1 x 1/8th, ahead and 230mm steerer (the frame is a 19")

Nice work! It's great to see some love for these bikes, a rare beastie these days (or even back when it was made).

Anyone have a decent one for sale? 1 1/8th, 120ish?

^crazy if true. I am almost more interested in the back story of how a bike like this gets into such a state! or rather what happened to the original owner! I hope the new owner is on here and posts the restoration.

^True!

just had another look and decided to look at the sellers other items. Scrap metal dealer maybe? slightly odd this..

I can never understand how and why a bike as lovely as this can just be left behind and forgotten, this must have been someone's pride and joy. Will make a great project, very nice find.

Re: Looks great, nice work bringing the paintwork back. Their paint (polyester?) from that era is rock solid.

Re: There's a Sahara Elite with these forks on Ebay right now starting at £50 (search Sahara and it will come up), is this the one you're referring to? Oddly I threw a set of these forks away in the summer, owned from new too! I hated the flex in these back in the day(c.1993) and quickly saved...

Yep I have a soft spot for a good Dyna Tech, love the UGLI fork too!

Looks great! what rims are they?
