Charlotte_P Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 Nice weather this evening and after a long stress filled day of apollo excels and whining customers fancied a little ride in chichester. I'm getting more used to the Saracen and I can honestly say that I prefer the way it rides to the zebdi. Anyway, you've probably scrolled down to look at the pics already but here they are. Pics magnificantly taken by Charlotte :S This gap was made easily - I couldn't even do it on the PX.... BEAST So there you have it, I'll post a few more pics of the saracen beast in action at a later date. Comments welcome.

Jonny Jones Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 (edited) Wicked photos Andy of Ponting towers! Especially the one with you on the edge of the wall - photo 4, awesome! I think you suit the Saracen really well! Hope all is good! Jonny. :S Edited May 1, 2005 by trialmedia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 Very sweet indeed. I prefer your zebdi, but if it rides better, then top job heh. :S Charlotte doing quite a good job of the pictures there too, well done. Going huge as always too. Nice to see the saracen is doing well for you. Standard spec i expect? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomN Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 Hehe never knew that one day someone said that Saracen are good bikes now, so top job on them and you :S . Pictures are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlotte_P Posted May 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 Hehe never knew that one day someone said that Saracen are good bikes now, so top job on them and you :S . Pictures are good. ← This frame is part of the first batch, still has a few niggling problems but nothing major, as I've said, it rides sweet as. Although "saracen" and "MAD" always seen as one and the same, its not true. Both are seperate companies, just so happens Saracen are the company that manufacture the MAD design. Top job on MAD I say :lol: Thanks for the comments :lol: Andy P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endohopper Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Nice pictures , especially the fourth , as Trialmedia said . On the shot of the ( good lookin ') bike itself , it apears that you run your brake levers angled very steep . Doesn't this become uncomfortable when leaning far back ?

Doesn't this become uncomfortable when leaning far back ? ← I've always run my levers like that, I've not noticed any drawbacks and it feels really comfortable on the wrists while on the back wheel and prevents wrist snapping harshness on front hooks.

mad_gavo Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Some good pics there :) My bro has just got the base model mad as he is getting into trials and apart from the obiously things like a shimano hub and poohy v brakes (what more do u expect for £300) I think it rides amazingly :D and he is getting maggies soon B) Was it just me or was this bank holiday weekend insanely busy at work? (halfords) But a good thing to note is that apollo excels are now discontinued :D but the new range are even worse :"> (everyone opend so far has had buckled wheels which means more time building and trueing them and in the company of annoying pikey customers :blink: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
