Minty fresh 1994 (I think?) Saracen Protrax (special equipment!) bike.
This looks to have done about 250 miles in total in its life, and the guy I got it off claimed it had never been off road - I can believe it.
Basically, its a pretty well equipped lower-mid range retro bike, would make a good commuter, or maybe wife/GF retro bike? I would keep it as it rides very nicely, and always wanted one BITD, but I have limited storage, and need to save it for, er, pimpier machines
