My Ebay bargain Saracen Trekker.

Hello and welcome, £15 well spent :D The Trekker looks great, I think its an 89 , I was out today and saw an old chap on an absolutly mint 89 Eiger in blue and yellow, must have been his 1st time riding it :LOL:
 
Thanks, I'm really pleased with it, good quality bike and a
fantastic ride, feels sporty. Not being much of an expert on
Mountainbikes what do you think sets a Saracen bike ahead
of many others from the same era?

I find that the rough terrain tyres are the only downside when
on the road. I've seen 1" slicks on Ebay for 26" mtb wheels,
they seem a bit small so maybe 1.50-ish road tyres?
I won't be doing much off roading but won't be able to resist
a bit of trail riding at some point.

There are some great looking Saracen's on here, all credit to
you guys who have done some great rebuilds.
Love the Kili frames, what a great design.

1988 Trekker

Gravy Monster told me to post these pictures here. 46 pages of Saracens. You're all quite, quite mad. Thank goodness!


You can probably tell which picture is 1988 and which are 2010, but see the thread on MTB's before 1995 for the full story.
