nineties Saracen Kili upgrade - second project added (p.2)

What a belter! Cracking job

Now I hope the carbon forks that take V Brakes arrive soon...

Got a link? Having trouble sourcing some...

Looks cool. Is that a slightly worrying chip/crack in the fork crown or something intentional?

@Pifko I found a 2nd hand Trigon MC07 (no longer produced) but I need a new set of screw on bosses as the former owner lost his...

It's nothing worrying, just needs a touch up. It's some paint that got scratched off by the previous owner when removing the crown race (without the correct tool...).

Found and ordered these (as they were missing) so hopefully I can finish the bike soon.

Not as good condition as yours or as nicely done, but did cost me £15 as a mostly original full bike, although most of that was knackered. Currently running big kojaks with shitty cranks after the zee's went on my more modern MTB, top pub bike though.

O, but I like yours too! Nice bike.

Class pub bike

Good for when you want to jump a few steps between pubs too.

I like it!

Bolts arrived this morning. Can't wait to finish this bike. Sunny weather, where art thou...

Nice! Subbed.

This project was covered by a massive layer of dust, but thanks to Covid-quarantaine, I finally took the effort to finish it.

Excellent. Gumwall Nobby Nics look great on it.

Great job!

beauty!

Thanks guys. Took it out for a ride and it performs great, even though the susp corrected forks make it a bit wobly. But for our Belgian dirtroads it is just perfect.

Looks fantastic

Picking up this thread again.

I recently putted my Cinelli mountainbike frame up for sale on Facebook. After less than 1 hour I got this email from a shopkeeper from the UK, asking me if I was interested in a swap. He suggested 3 frames and this 1998 Saracen Kili Comp immidiately stole my heart. Geo-wise it's similar to 1997 Saracen Team but other tubing was used (Reynolds 853).

Today it arrived and I even love the colour more in the flesh. Thinking of building it up with era correct parts.

Lovely I’d like a killi one day

Thanks. I have to say this one really came as a surprise. Wasn't actually looking for one.

Tasty! Show us your wishbone!

These? 😊
