[clockworkclockwork]

Hi, Im after a 1991 Sarace tufftrax in the baby blue colour, frame only or complete bike?

Any one???

Hello mate. The 1991 was not baby blue. Sure you're not thinking of the 1989?

91 Tufftrax

How about this? Believe it's a '91 judging by the date letters on the M550 LX parts that were on it. Stem, headset & (scrap) forks fitted sometime later.
Seatpost is stuck & it's a big frame - 21". £20 + postage is all I'm after.

That's at least a '92 going by the decals. In 1991 Saracen went for very 'loud' graphics. Only lasted one year before going more sober for '92+ but I've got a soft spot for the '91's.

yep, could be a '92 with '91 parts I guess. Still, anyone want it?

ah its 1989...

Thanks Jimbo, If it was a smaller frame I would be interested, and thanks brocklanders yes I got it wrong its a 1989 model, that one in the picture is exactly the bike I had as a kid and cycled probably 20,000 miles on I really want one been looking for while.... I will keep looking

 

[brocklanders023]

My first bike too

What size are you looking for?

Hi your one looks lovely mate.... sis you restore it like that or did you find one??

they see to be hard to find now!!

I am after a 17-19" really, I remember it being really nice to ride, I proper messed with my one back then though changed all the components it had a muddy fox stem and was XT/XTR throughout, I sold it for peanuts when I learned to drive

Sold my original 18" to my brother in law for not much cash. He chucked it in a skip a year or two ago, a week before I asked if he still had it :roll:

This one's the second I've had since joining this site. Pretty much came like this but needed a good clean. Vitually all the original parts are still on it There's a build thread on the site somewhere.
