joe parker Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 well i had a Saracen Mad 2 six bike and the chain stay got all mangled and got a hole in it by the chain ring. so phoned saracen and told them and they sent me another frame! so i thought this time it will be different but after having the frame for just over 2 months i hav snapped the frame clean through on the chain stay!should i just ask saracen for another frame? even though i really hate their frames after my experiences or should i just buy a new frame???

Simpson Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Saracen frame were vair nice to ride - but after snapping mine and a load of griping all they ever offered me was a new frame for £120 so i told them to f**k off which i think kinda reduced my chance of getting a free one. get a echo control SARACENS = Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaXsteri Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 I would try and get a replacement if its fairly new, then sell it and put the money towards something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onzaallen Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 I would try and get a replacement if its fairly new, then sell it and put the money towards something else This is exactly what i would do, there is no point in you refusing a free frame.Allen.

louth trials 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 hi mateIn louth 5 riders have snapped saracens.The problem is that the bottom braket is not long enough and the chainring eats the frame away which causes it to snap. they have all phoned saracen to get new frames and saracen have delieverd then they all put longer bottom brakets in and the frames dont snap anymore. phone saracen get another frame and long bottom braket that will 100% sort you out mate.tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
