Just picked up a crazy huge Saracen frame & fork (and most of the rest). But thats all I know about it.
She is nearly 26" tall and 23" long, takes 700c's and has a '531c' sticker on the seat tube, but then only a 531 sticker on the forks. Weighs about the same as my 21" jackson (with its bb in) so it must be made out of something half decent. oh its got a "B.J. Cycles" sticker on headtube and seat tube.
A little bit of internet trawling did not turn up much on old saracens, only the newer stuff.
Also its got a Suntour Cyclone (mk2?) rear mech which is in OK conditon, want to use it on another project but the hanger bolt seems to be seized in there. the bolt will move within the dropout, but the mech will not pivot around the bolt itself, is there a magic way of releasing this type of mech?
