Gotta love the frame - fillet brazed loveliness from Saracen and all very, very minty!

Go on, someone's gotta get this (no good for me as I'm a short arse - it's a wonder I ever got into this sport in the 80s as every bike was either a 20 or 22 inch frame!)

God that's perfect

I fear that any buyer will just split it for parts though :?

Heathy ALERT!

Love the fact that it has colour matched rack and reflector mounts.

Who made these frames, I know the early 80s originals were made by Evans but these were fillet brazed, not an Evans thang? Or were they genuinely in house by this point?

Saracen used to make some good stuff didn't they? Where did it all go wrong?
Nice frame, I always preferred the monostay version though, just a little different.

I used to ride with a guy with one of those!!

He ended up using it as his main ride after he kept snapping his rc100.
Mind you he was 18 stone!!!

anyone near bath who could collect this for me and post it on, suitably packed, i will obviously pay you for your time.
