Jolfa Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 (edited) Aye 24/7 grips, liked them so much I bought some myself (on the X-Tort but you can't see)... And I too used them 'til they were pretty much just flaps of rubber hanging off my bars Edited February 15, 2008 by Jolfa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reine Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 nice to see some bikes from my "glory days"! Megamos have always been beautiful, I would love a 20" replica like the one in the second pic. From time to time I see one for sale in the country but often they're overpriced.

James Quigley Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I couldn't tell you why but I absolutely love that bike. Those frames are sexy and probably the only thing that suit the plastic mini seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolfa Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I think the lightweight black paint on the X-ile gave it the edge over the heavy white on the X-ess That's why I had the X-ile.... That and it was £100 cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I can't believe i used to think that Saracen was actually a really nice looking bike. It's bloody horrible, glad i got a Shooter instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
