British Steel

[NeilM]

What a cool pair of frames.

Interesting to note both the similarities and differences between the two.

Shame the colour is 'French Blue'

Cool T...!

Any more British Steel out there fellas...?

Wheres the Orange Formula got too, and the gorgeous Roberts...?

A shot of mine out on the local trails.
It is British & it is steel, just not as retro as I'd like. Retro inspired however.

Nice looking bike.

Nice looking trails too.

Hope this is ok here as it is British. My newly finished 1992 Saracen Kili Pro.

Loads more detail and picture on the build thread: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=228580

Coo, that's nice Gio.

Ahhh, Magura's: I had them on my Zaskar when I first built it. I changed them for V brakes in 96/7, but I don't remember why :roll:

Thanks Neil.

The old Hydrostops are the original Magura's but you wouldn't know it how well they workl. Took a while to refurbish them but it was worth it in the end

I can't remember if mine were Hydrostop's or HS33's. I do remember that they worked really well and weren't any trouble.

I think mine had the lever fitted that allows the wheels to be changed easily.

It could well be that I changed them because I didn't like the levers and because XT V brakes were THE thing to have.

Anyway, very nice bike, as always.

DB next?

New project on the go as we speak so DB has been moved back down. I have all the bits I just need to get it painted...

Check it out, its not steel, but is British
