I like those Saracen frames with the top tube extended into the seat tube. More succinct name for that? I bought a tufftrax on eBay the other day in a nice purple colour, true temper. But the guy had it stolen from his lock up before he posted it. I think they’re well proportioned frames.
Are there no diy bodges to get the dent out?

No idea if there’s any good dent removing bodges. Not entirely sure I’ve got the kit or skills to do the fixing that needs doing. I do like the frame a lot though, would have been a good spec bike in its day. Ritchey logic cranks and finishing kit, Deore DX mechs and brakes. Shame it was as badly looked after as it was.

pierced top tube?
deffinitely worth building up, even if it's just for a pub bike. i'd love to replace the frame on mine with one of the higher end kili frames in that tasty purple/pink colour
here's mine;
(has better saddle + different stem now)

So I picked up this Saracen Kili Pro a while back but it’s got plenty of issues. Seat post was stuck, now out. Fork is solid, front wheel bearings are knackered but there’s a few dents. The main one is on the drive side chainstay and it’s deep enough to make me wonder if it’s even worth doing it up. Any thoughts?
