Saracen BackTrax

Hellobro

Hi all

As the title suggests I’ve recently purchased a Saracen mountain bike. I didn’t think £30 was bad? I couldn’t believe how comfortable the bike was and it does look pretty nice! There’s something about these 90’s mountain bikes that look cool. I’ve only given the bike a quick spin around the block but everything seems to work as it should. I was told by the owner who has had it since new that they are original tyres so il be looking to change them for something newer and slightly less aggressive. If anyone has any information about this bike like the year it was made etc that would be great to know. I look forward to making a few little upgrades but I’m very happy with my purchase😀

So I’ve taken the bike out for a few short rides, although the bikes seems to be pretty comfortable I feel like quite a bit of my weight is on my wrists! Is this quite normal for the bikes of this era or would be some higher handlebars help to solve this?
