Early Saracen Lovers Anonymous......

This is my dads '92 Tufftrax Elite. 100% original in mint condition, still has the reflectors. It has the paper barcode sticker under the saddle I doubt if its covered 100 miles from new :shock: I need to convince him to let me have it

That's as mint and original as it gets! Very nice bike.

OK, I know not strictly retro, but it is a Saracen and it's "anonymous" and I love it! My 853 Kili with its new, much shorter (than the 440mm Project 2s) front end. I think it looks a lot better - but the clearance wouldn't like mud. I shall swop to road tyres and make it my dry day winter rocket!

(Grateful thanks to Raging_Bulls for the forks - even just the right colour!!)

Forks are a great match, looks great.

Thank you - I am very pleased with the look. Red DX brake arms to add I think. And black rims would look better...

I can put mine on here now it's finally finished...

 

[oldave]

Nice one - excellent colour.

 

[We_are_Stevo]

Yeah, I love it - there's a very real danger of it becoming my favourite bike!

Very nicely done

I only got it because LGF had posted his, and I used to look at this frame hanging on the wall at the back of the tiny LBS in Brighton it came from.

I actually had no intention of building myself a purple bike of any make but the popularity of the brand on this thread persuaded me otherwise!
