RetroBIKE's very own team Force India presents a saved-from-landfill Saracen Sahara Elite despite having no hope whatsoever of coming anywhere near a podium finish....

Looks good with the black LX on it LGF.

Here you go; 1986 Miyata One Thousand: Shimano Deerhead/600 equipped, 90% original (front wheel is a replacement). My favourite bikes have 26" wheels and fat knobby tires, but this is a beautiful machine. Made in Japan, no compromise quality - still on it's original tires (which according to Sheldon Brown's website are the only radial bicycle tires ever made) and the seat and grips are original too. It was very dirty when I got it, looks fantastic now (IMHO).

Mmmm, that is saucy. Never that bothered about road bikes but that is pushing my button.

Its going to be a tough month.

And now an entry based purely on fun and goofiness....had a blast rescuing it, enjoyed a wackey build putting it together, and smiled like a five year old the whole time I was riding it.

Cool Steve; love the action shots

now what woods are those, and what's with the shin guards

(the first question being serious; the second one, not so much.

Thanks
