FS: Retro MTB frames (titanium [GONE TO A BETTER PLACE], turquoise & hot pink content)

I've got two 90s/00s Saracen MTB frames that I've been meaning to build up but just haven't had the time. Collection only, SE London.

#1 '90s Saracen Andes - 17.5" C-to-C

This would make a great pub bike, kid-carrier or general runaround. Great metallic turquoise paint with hot pink foil decals makes this probably the best colour-way Saracen released. Frame is chro-mo and in good condition, with two small chips to the top tube. Decals starting to peel but otherwise all there. Comes with free on-trend flat bars and cantis, and everything else you see in the photo. Please note that the forks probably don't have much/any life in them and there is some surface pitting to the stem. Bonus mystery pedals included. £85

#2 '00s Saracen Kili Ti - 19" C-to-C

Raw titanium Saracen Kili Ti frame, with V brake mounts. A real do-anything frame that was my primary mountain bike for many years. Not been ridden for some time and has been slowly gathering dust in the corner of my room. Got to be the cheapest way into a titanium frame at £125

Happy to answer any questions/provide additional photos on request.

Wow.

Dibs the Ti

That was quick (and rightly so)!

I am titanium

(was prepared to keep posting ‘Wow’ and bumping this until the heat death of the universe - probably sooner than I’d have 125 notes spare ~sob~)

: )

Put me on the wait list for the ti. Both look great

If it came with rigid forks and if I was anywhere near London, I’d be all over the steel one. Love that colour scheme.

Can I join the queue for the Ti

Funny thing, I think have something close to a matching Saracen rigid fork. Sparkly turquoise. Segmented. But I dunno if a-c is tricksy on this.
I’d swap it in a heartbeat for the one that’s on there : )

Ah! I think I would have struggled to collect from London anyway, which is a shame. Plus I literally just bought a lairy Giant locally :-)

Minor thread derail / bump for rad frames

Unlikely what are we 3rd in line dibs for ti, cannot afford but need that in my life and could sell current projects to make it happen, also in se ldn if that helps will pm

Nth on the ti plez

The ti frame turned out to have a crack in the chain stay (alas) and went to @knowthejo for nothing, on the off chance he might be able to resurrect it. Sorry to disappoint, and pray for a swift recovery.

Andes still up for grabs.

Messaged the folk at Limit Fabrications to see what can be done. Fingers crossed some reinforcing weld might do the trick as replacing the lower NDS stay will be tricky....

Hi,
regarding the Andes, can you tell me what the top tube length is and is that a 1" threadless stem/headset or a 1 1/8"? thanks

Oh and the stem looks long; is it 120mm?
