fredrico Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 (edited) I have that frame two they are really nice to ride!I thought mad had left saracen to make their own brand of trials bikes?Looks very similar to this years...They have left, I was talking to Giles and he said that the new range of saracens have been reinforced at the areas the earlier frames have snapped, and the new mad frames will have a wheelbase of around 1075 and be complete only, that is all he would tell me But yeh nice bike Edited September 1, 2006 by fredrico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clawz114 Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 you mean this http://www.saracencycles.com/index.php?opt...0&Itemid=25Its been out for ages if you mean this one.I really really dont like saracen. owned the team issue, 2.six H, snapped both and i was running the team urban until i got an adamant a2. I just wanna say this incase the saracen frame designer is reading this. PUT THE MAGURA MOUNTS IN THE RIGHT PLACE!!!!!my read magura rubs my tyre...so i have to angle it downwards...and gues what thats as far down as i can put it...I CAN RUN MY MAGURA HALFWAY UP MY TYRE? wtf is going on?

bEavoLa Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 JEEBUS - DROP THE SEAT makes me miss my old 2005 2.Six...and for all the saracen haters out there, one of my old riding buds wanted to trade his Echo Pure for my heavily modified 2.Six, he liked it so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF is the point in that! They snap in about 5 minutes when u wave a forest at them, let alone rocks and concrete on a trials bike!They put £200 or so's worth of mech and shifter on, and then fit the sodding thing with Truvativ cranks!!! Bunch of muppets, I dont see any way in hell that that bike is worth £1200!Saracen I salute you for being absolute tools :bow: :bow: :bow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredrico Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 just looks like the team issue frameBenYour right it is but i think they carried it through into 2007.

liam-pantera Posted September 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 to be honest i think it looks rank too but i was only sharign it with u and u will all see soon that it is the 07. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 I just don't understand how they even think they can compete with something like that.£1250 would buy you a pitbull, GU, Czar ETC, full build, or you could get a second hand Koxx with change to spare. Why on earth would anyone who knows anything buy one?I'd sooner own a carrera than a saracen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bEavoLa Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 They put £200 or so's worth of mech and shifter on, and then fit the sodding thing with Truvativ cranks!!! if they're good enough for Ryan Leech...they're good enough for a bike like that!don't be such a 'label queen' - there's nothing wrong with Truvativ Hussefelts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont have a huge issue with Truvativ cranks (I wasnt aware they were Hussefelts, regardless), but as somebody's already mentioned, this is in the same price bracket as a fully kitted Zoo/GU/Adamant/Czar complete with Echo/Zoo/Genericchinese CNC cranks or middleburns...For that sorta money I'd want top end stuff on the bike...Much as I respect Saracen for being vaguely british and clinging onto the low end of the MTB market, there's no way in hell they can justify charging £1250 for that bike!

liam-pantera Posted September 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 (edited) To be honest tom i dont see why you should have an opinion as u havnt rode it / seen it the only bike u think is nice is your t lite wich u complain about all the time with little stuff like ohhh the cranks are creaking.it has a nice spec but its still gash the end .
