Any views? if in good condition then 90 is about the most one of their cheap models would be worth, some though are worth quite a bit, see the list he http://www.bikes2udirect.com/brand/S...html?mv_pc=gb9 If it is one of the very expensive ones then be very suspicious. |

Back on topic, I've always liked the look of Saracens but never ridden or owned one. |

Back on topic, I've always liked the look of Saracens but never ridden or owned one. I had a cheapish low end road race one. Alu frame and forks and the spec was fairly good for the price. I think I paid about £200 for it "hardly used" from ebay. After Saracen folded, there were a lot of frames sold off cheaply. I figured that this one was one of those and it was put together from bits and pieces. It was a nice bike though. I sold it a year later for £160. |

We used to sell a few - soundly built and nicely finished, with a few interesting touches (like the yellow ones I liked, that had all black hardware and U-brakes at both ends). I'm not sure that the more recent Saracens are much like the older ones though - didn't the company run into trouble/change hands and start selling lower quality stuff? |
