Thanks neilll

it is sad about there being nothing of the history left :cry:

Neill, that is above and beyond the call of duty! Have a virtual pint on me!

My current favourite, and brewed not too far from Saracen HQ as was, Purity UBU!

Now, as the progenitor of all this, having started the thread, can I ask a teeny tiny favour of the scans?

Somewhere there will be a very early XTR equipped Kili. Gold, with purple ano parts and littered with Ritchey WCS finishing kit. Can't remember the year, but any chance you could make searching that out a priority? Please? Pretty please?


We should see if we can track down Colin. Colin was the warranty manager back in the day, and he knew it all. I wonder what happened to him!

I am not sure but I think the bike you are thinking of is a 93 kili ultra.

That sounds about right, thanks.

Neill, go to it my good man!

Seeing as you started the thread......your wish is my command

Not really early cos the Kili started years before this but.....

mmm that's tastey!

we already have the 93 scans from quite a while back though, albeit poor quality, so i don't know whether this is the one Carlos was after?

Is that the ultra elite? If so did they do a standard ultra?

Sorry for the volley of questions

There were five Kili's that year, the start of Saracens suicidal marketing strategy some might say...... :roll:

Kili Racer Team
Kili Pro Elite
Kili Flyer Elite
Kili XTR Elite
Kili Ultra Elite (Tit frame)

You can say that again. 93 bikes were so nice but it seems this year was the beginning of the end.
