Is it a Saracen Kili Flyer?

[christi]

Hi freaks,

could this frame be a 89`Saracen Kili Flyer or is it something else? There`s a Tange prestige sticker on it A lot of details seem to be the same to Heathys BOTM Jan 2010, but look at the entry and exit for the brake cable.. Don`t mind the paint, I can`t tell if it`s original or not.

Thanks for your information!

Bye

I have the same sort of frame as Heathy. From first glance the only difference I can see is that on my frame the front edge where the seat post inserts is far more pointy on your frame. It is more rounded on mine.

There are several traits which have a definite Saracen look about them.
The cable routing and guides, the rear canti guide and seatstay bridge, and the smoothed headtube fillet brazing.
Even the pointy seat-tube looks familiar.

There are a few subtle differences from Heathy's 1989/90 Kili Flyer though, namely the top tube cable routing entry and exit points as you mention.

Pretty confident it's a Saracen of a similar vintage though.

Hi guys,

thanks for your quick replies. Was there a 1988 Kili Flyer? Maybe it`s from 1988. Backwheel spacing is 130mm.

there was an 88 kili flyer and that pink one above was it.

Looks the same as yours I have to say.

to my knowledge i think there was only one fillet brazed saracen in that range.

Is that Kili not a 1989? Decals are the same as my 89 Tufftrax :?

 

[Augustus]

Pink one is an 88. Tufftrax was yellow or red (as 87) trekker was aquarius blue, blizzard was white and kili flyer was pink.

89 range was declared on the back covers of mbuk on evans ads as blue TT, green trekker, pink traverse.

Looks like quite a nice frame regardless
