Early Saracen Lovers Anonymous......

No, I would have painted the Saracen black. The Yates will be in metallic purple :LOL: .

There has been a change of plan to the Saracen :oops: .
My friend who brought the bike back for me, had this afternoon free, so very generously he has took it apart and rebuilt it for me and gave it a really good clean. He also used a beeswax cleaner on the frame and it's looking really good, the shine has been brought back and it looks nice as it is. It would be a shame to take away the original paint so I think I will leave it as it is :) .

First proper outing on the recently finished kili racer today:



More pics in the thread in my signature.

That looks like a really cracking piece of kit mate although it does appear to be rather tall for me so just how big a frame is this beauty then ? ..

Okay so the old saracen will no longer be changing colour and the yates is going to be purple :cool: so i'll be keeping an eye on the future updates for the yates ..

Thanks chap. It's a 20", seems bigger I think as it's an e stay makes the angles look weird. It is big though.
 
Yeah! If I did paint the Saracen it would be keeping with the original colour.

I have some bits and pieces coming for the Yates next week hopefully, the link is in my sig :) .
 
I got the Saracen back today from my friend and rides really well, despite being too small for me.
Does anyone know where the frame no. is located for a 83/84 model? I've tried around the BB, dropouts, and seatclamp area.
I'll upload photos tomorrow.

Re:

Received a new addition today, a lovely '89 Kili Flyer frame and forks, eager to start I chucked some bits on during my lunchtime. Probably going to go with original DX parts instead of the updated XT that I had laying around.

Few bits that I need to get for it, anyone know what the seat post size is for these?





 
Picked up another Trekker yesterday, wife officially thinks I've got a problem now, but was cheap and fairly local.

City slickers, Onza bar ends and white Rolls saddle :)
