Saracen Sahara

Hi, i am thinking of parting with my Sahara Elite as it isnt used enough.
Before i put it in the for sale thread i just wondered if there was any interest as a full bike, otherwise it will have to be stripped.
Spec - Saracen Sahara Elite frame, standard seatpost, bontrager rims on exage hubs, Wtb saddle, Easton Ea30 bars, Zoom bar ends, Kalloy Uno stem, Ritchey Logic brake levers with black Lx cantis, Deore Dx thumbies, Xt M730 Chainset, XT front & rear mech, Panaracer smoke tyres, Club Roost bottle cages, new bottom bracket, Manitou Sport forks. If anyones intersted let me know and we could disuss a price otherwise its getting split.

89 tufftrax, in a right 2&8. im bodging it back together after the car "accident" cos i need to go to the shops. probably should have done it over the weekend. anyway i had my phone on me so i took a couple of bad pics:

hope that works.
i will be fixing it up properly soon and maybe even a clean (!) so better pics on the way.
question is, stick with the original forks or should i be treating to old beatie to some switchblades? bit academic at the moment cos the stem is siezed in.
laters

I can honestly say I had no idea that there would be this much love for old Saracens when I started this thread. It's lovely to see I was wrong!

another pic from my phone, coming home from the shoppe, when i stopped off for a quick toke:

they shoulda used shots like that in the catalogues instead of that aspirational trek through the desert rubbish

What have you got lined up dirtjumper? I'm messing with your old Terratrax at the mo, told myself to leave it how it was, but well you know! By the way its a bloody good ride isn't it, miles better than my Sahara.

glad you're enjoying the Terratrax yeh i know what it's like! it's a slippery slope it's a great bike i enjoyed riding it loads and to be honest i get pangs for it now and again
Got something purple and saracen shaped incoming not saying much more for now don't want to tempt fate but as soon as it touches down i'll be sure post some pics here

here's to keeping it retro and saracen, great bikes
