BOTM January 2010 - Saracen Special - Poll up now!

Only one bike for me:

Corduroyboy's 1993 Kili XTR Elite

Frame is beautiful and bike is very rare nowadays.

It comes down to these four for me:

Heathy's 1989 Kili Flyer

i believe in fixies' 1991/2 Saracen-built Carrera Quattro

Iwasgoodonce's 1989 Kili Flyer

drystonepaul's 1992 Kili Racer

Corduroyboy's 1993 Kili XTR Elite because it's the one I'd happily own.

Close between heathy and easy_rider, but fell down on the side of the e-stay.
Paintwork swung it, and its actually outside

Just as a matter of interest, what does the 'Kili' refer to :?

 

[drystonepaul]

Just as a matter of interest, what does the 'Kili' refer to :?

Refers to the fact that in 1984 Nick and Richard Crane were the first people to get to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro on their Saracen Conquests.

Some quality Saracen's here ! Where are all the double u-brake trekkers though? I've gone for DSP's cool kili racer !

Very tough month. Lots of 'cool' e-stays and nice British built bikes. Several jump off the page, especially the Hydrotechs with their fantastic paintwork. But for me it had to DSP's Kili e-stay. Firstly because it's an estay and estays are the future, secondly because it's the best presented by quite a distance, thirdly because its a rider and ridden hard, and finally because Paul is the NWA deputy and it would be bad form to vote for someone else

Nearly voted for Sidewinders' Kili, but it let itself down for not being a rider! (for those not in know this bike is cursed and breaks down on every ride it trys to join in, my PC monitor nearly packed up just scrolling past it!)
