Re: saracen tufftrax value?

Hi

Posted this previously elsewhere on site, but was advised to put it here.

I have a Saracen Tufftrax that I have had from new and only ridden about 15 or 20 miles on road. It is totally original and like new - see picture taken today!

I'd like to sell it, but I'm not sure if its worth anything, or of its value. Any advice welcome.

Cheers

£125 to £180 in my opinion. Excellent nearly NOS condition so maybe more, but it depends wether you want to wait for a buyer to pay more or want quick cash.

Welcome Grumpy,

Someone will snatch your hand off for that! How come you never rode it?

It's the bike I wanted back in '96 but I had to make do with a Terratrax.

You need to list it in MTB for sale.

Cheers,

Chaser.

I had a beauty of an e-stay Saracen. It was a 93 'Race Elite' I think. It was red, rocking some tasty yellow Quadra 21 forks, purple Hope front hub, blue Ringle seatpost and blue Club Roost Go Fast bars.....happy days!

Does anyone have any info on the early estay box framed Saracen.

Does anyone own one ??

I would love to see one of these puppys

Like this?

My Brother's Marzocchi-forked, Magura-braked e-stay Saracen, not sure of the precise model but it looks like the one from the brochure a few pages back. The Marzocchis eventually gave up the ghost and were replaced with some straight-bladed rigid forks, he later sold it on to fund a Kona that he still has, last time I saw the Saracen it had been resprayed it metallic blue but this is going back about 20 years! This would have been a 91 or 92 model as he got it about the same time I got my Raleigh.

Hey Analog Kid...

Is that my old Dyna Tech 2070 in your user name id image?

I am sure I know that paint colour and HT badge.

Let me know,

Chaser.

It's my Peak's badge, I thought the Dyna Tech's were normally in Team Colours where the blue was darker?
