Saracen tufftrax...... budget morning build

Plan is to just return it back to its exage trail routes so quick rub down with a rag and off with the chainset.

And on with a trail unit with biopace

Which also leads to the why a short seatpost 🤔, well further inspection shows a previous owner had decided to not remove the seat post the bash it further down into the frame 😮‍💨 at this point I'm a little disappointed
 
I've a friend with a NOS one of these in the shed.

Oooooh, nos 👍 nice

The reason I got this was because of a memory, back in the day (15ish) we used to go around to a friend of a friend house, Kenny was the only person I knew with a Saracen, his parents bought it for him and he had upgraded the rear derailleur to a Deore XT... Well cool, he was a dick but his bike was well cool.
