Looking good! Frame looks in amazing condition.
Walton Street Cycles is still going - it should be in a city like Oxford mind! Used to pop in from time to time when I lived there. Too trendy these days for modern Saracens but I'm sure they'd snap the hands off this

Re:
Thanks mate. Hope it turns out as nice as one of yours!
Next up is to clean the parts, and I think with Deore, it should be doable.
One of the thumbies has had it, but I have a spare.
Wheels will take some work and I might have to try and go seven speed, possibly
The saddle is a worry. Don't suppose you have a nice one knocking about in your Saracen stash somewhere. This one has a big rip in in, so might have to recover if I can't find one
Enjoying though.

Really sorry dude I don't have a spare. Saracen saddles are literally impossible to find unless they come on the bike. Even the one on the 1990 Tufftrax is a bit ripped. The one on the 89 is borderline binnable. On my 89 Kili I've ended up using a Flite and then a Turbo.
I think a Turbo or perhaps even a Rolls would go nicely on this one. £20 on eBay should see you right. Or even a tenner for a Turbo with patina.
I did have all the parts from an 87 Kili but I sold them to Mark (Makster). Although from memory that didn't include the saddle. Sadly it had been replaced by something wide and comfy. Straight in the bin.

Re:
No worries. Got a couple of turbos knocking about, but I might have a crack at recovering this one.
