My old Saracen race elite with raised chain stays, not used in years and just been sat under the stairs.

Needs a clean, headset ideally needs strip and clean as it’s a bit stiffer than ideal. Wire brush and some oil on the chain as it has surface rust. One flat tyre.

Other than that it’s pretty good. This was my main bike for years before I got in to road bikes. All original except for DMR v8 pedals and early morevelo sticker, Shimano Altus gears and brakes, Mavic black anodised rims.

Only selling like this as I’m slim on time and clearing loads of stuff out. Could sort it out and make 100% usable and clean for £30 or so but it’s easy work for anyone to do in an afternoon at the most.

Off the top of my head it’s a 19” frame

£100 and collect in Brighton area

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
