Look yes it says hand made it should read hand assembled in the UK I worked for action bikes when they came out and believe or not they are a rebadged radfords built in the same factory in taiwan.

I suppose if you fitted XTR on it you would defend it but honestly if you tried a kona it just would not compare.


PS hear's a question what ype of tubbig is it made Hi ten maybe like hi tensile steel...is it a butted frame sorry just the facts...at least it looks like you ride it which kinda the point happy riding.

That 60's Claude Butler is very nice. I think I hear where you're coming from Lemusrey.

Unfortunately lots of British brands have gone to the wall in recent years and will never be the same. I hear Saracen are about to be relaunched. I very much doubt they'll make anything that todays kids will still be lusting about in 20 years time.

mate you are talking to me as if ive never ridden or owned another bike. im not going to get it a slanging match about what i have owned, what i do own and what i know.

its Tange Cro-Mo Double butted as in second picture.

it was built for a bit of fun from some parts i had and some i bought, turned out to be a 25lb bike that is great to ride.
