Re:
Funny that, earlier today I watched a clip of Rob Warner racing downhill on one of these bikes I think, Kaprun '95. Clip is on his Instagram account,

Frames were made by Verlicchi I think, and other brands used the frames eg Iron Horse, Rudy Project etc. Kona also used the frame as well I believe.

It might be robs bike

Could be, maybe.
The rear has a Sachs Power disc brake, it must have dedicated mounts on the frame as those brakes used a particular fitting (well, I guess most disc brakes at that time had different "standards"!), pretty cool how the Magura rim brake lever is operating the disc caliper though

As far as I can tell from pics and the u bet vid front hub is different and the stem is different
For the Rob Warner Bike that carried JMC's ashes in 95 the pedals are wrong, front wheel is wrong, forks are wrong, seatpost is wrong, chain device (long one from chainstay) is wrong, brake lever is wrong
This could be a Titley or Mortimer bike, not Peaty or Rob Warner which would be the grail
Also the Saracen Team bikes would never have had a Sintesi decal on them

The for leg crowns seem to be correct but the legs are a different colour, the rear mech is set up like Rob used to have it, in you bet it ran disk at the back and magura at the front the bars seem correct. Did saracen ever mass sell these frames
They sold them for a year
I talked to Rich Warner a couple of years ago about a guy who was selling one that claimed to be Robs - he showed it to Rob who said he never sold it and that it was not his bike, I'm 99% sure its this one....
I've asked Andrew Titley what he thinks as he was on the team with Rob / Steve / Helen Mortimer and a few others
The team was Saracen Coors and there are no Coors decals on this....
