1993 Saracen Race Elite

Just picked this up via ebay.

It's currently with 02gf74 who has very kindly helped with collection.



This is the first photo he sent me which looks more promising than the ones on ebay! (Apparently the seat post may be stuck)
It will be specced with some good old DX / XT. I will add some more pics as we progress!

I had a KILI RACER in my younger days, and can't wait to throw my leg over one again.

However, the new arrival means I may have to sell something from the herd...

Nice!! And not a huge one for a change either.
Looks really original too. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

Its only the chainset that lets these down, the performance of the other parts is actually not that bad.

I seem to recall that these came in either Tange or True temper depending on which bit of the warehouse they dragged the frame from. Which ( and I may be wrong ) also meant that the TT frame had a very slightly shorter top tube.
I am sure that Saracen released an end of year spec sheet for these to dealers but I can't find any evidence of that.

Nice.

As LGF says just change the chainset and be done. Lovely

Got around to putting this back together as it came in. Took some quick piccies, but next stop for this beast is a strip and a trip to West Wales Powdercoaters for a shiny new red coat. (After I get the seatpost free)!

DX groupset knocking about and I'll gathering up the rest of the kit while it's away.

Have a new decal set from Gil ready to go on.
