    My New Saracen ATB.

    Ha ha... yeah the Internet has a lot to answer for ....financially. Get an old Raleigh Maverick or something and tweak it to look nice ... you can do it for a few quid.. ...That was my plan until I saw this iconic Saracen.. Which I've just been out on with a new correct height seatpost and...

    My New Saracen ATB.

    I pop in to see if there's any old shite that I could bolt to my old 20 inch wheel shopping bikes ...I've spotted a few old mtb gems down there in the past ... but this Saracen really stopped me dead in my tracks .

    My New Saracen ATB.

    Thanks.. I am a tiny, tiny bit tall for it , a slightly longer ( sympathetic looking ) period seatpost will solve that. But yep it is easygoing . 👍

    My New Saracen ATB.

    Hi all , popped into my local bike charity to check what was around. I scored this. To say I'm pleased is an understatement. I never really appreciated the quality of 80s Suntour & Sugino until now. The frame shows the usual patina for an '84 bike , an oily rag will be all that's getting...

    FINISHED! - More or Less NOS Pace RC200 F1

    Re: New project - More or Less NOS Pace RC200 F1 It's looking good! For future reference... you can have the forks Cerokoated...of course at a price and I reckon it'll be 35-50 quid?? if you do the prep. It's an incredibly hard finish @ .0004" thick available in a myriad of colours including...

    Absolutely Cone Nuts Situation!

    It's a shame in an industry that strives to be 'green' ...a throw away approach like this... I hope to buy my old wheel...spare rim ,free-hub etc etc... Anyway, my Fathom had its uses at the moment its a £1000 clothes rack A good use for these mahoosive bars! ;)
