Which Saracen? - shed find.

[Heavy]

I picked this up today based on one poor photo - hoping for the best - Kili Flyer.

Looking at the catalogues, the closest I'm getting is '94 Tufftrax?

What's people's thoughts on what it is and anything of note?

No idea, but it dies look like someone blinged up a lower end bike with shiny purple bits that they saved for from their paper round money.

Re:

Purple shiney bits will always keep coming around.

I'd guess it's a '93/'94 transitional Tufftrax. Saracen may have been using up stock of Exage components prior to the arrival of STX and Alivio in '94.

Nothing very special, but it looks like a decent mid-range bike.

Re:

Cheers Jim

I bought it because I need tyres, so I'm happy to get a bike into the bargain.

Plus I have a soft spot for five piece forks.

Mind you, take away the suspension fork, and this Trekker Elite ticks all the boxes:

Re:

I think you're right OEJ.

The pedals & tyres from this bike went to finish other people's OEM builds & I'll probably work the forks in to something I've got planned, so all's good.

Looks like a 1993 Trekker.

Edit sorry seen the above comment.
