1987 Saracen Kili Flyer

[TonyG44]

Hi All
1987/88 we made our epic journey across the Sahara on the Tanezrouft
I rode the Kili Flyer, my accomplice rode a 'Conquest' both bikes were amazing

I am looking for a blue Kili Flyer as seen in this pic, the only modification was the Brookes B66 sprung saddle
Brookes sponsored us so had to sit on it!)

I am currently writing a book about the 2 trips we made out there and would love to re connect with the old horse!

Cheers

Tony

Re:

Where are you located ?
I recently called in at a quirky bike shop near Bosham in W. Sussex
He had a yard at the back of the shop full of old Saracens and Raleigh mostly early stuff.

Amazing! Everything is possible when you're 30 years younger.

Looking forward to your future lists if this is anything go go by.

Hi Tony, I have a copy of the articles in the Coventry Evening Telegraph and Birmingham Post from September 1988 before you set off...

Do you have the articles?
