Assuming all goes well, I may have just become the new owner of a Saracen Killi team. The one with the super lovely rear wishbone stays and segmented forks in the lovely green colour.
I must admit I've always loved the look of the frame, what's not to love about the sculpted wishbone, and the rear seat tube/top tube and stay junction? And the classic retro segmented forks. And the lovely green colour.
I'm not usually one for catalogue spec builds, and may not go down that road but I'd like to know what it would have been specced with new, what tubing the frame is (I'm sure I've seen versions with 853 tubing and also range infinity, but could be wrong). What's the difference between the tubesets out of interest?
I'm hoping the paint is in decent condition as I'd like to keep at least the frame original, but am contemplating a more sympathetic, original ish build rather than my usual retro-mod style for some reason.
The frame doesn't appear to have canti mounts, so must be 97 ish era. I may go for a Brit themed build, with era appropriate upgrades such as hope and x-lite bits.
I just hope it's the right size as I've taken a punt and hoping the size quoted isn't right,.
So, to summarise, any info on the frame and spec gratefully received. Pics of builds most welcome for inspiration. Could do with knowing the seat post size too.
