iceroo Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) Hey people, Just stumbled on this forum after looking for pics of my Saracen X-tort. Ive been trusty member of a couple of Car Forums, and dead chuffed to find this place! Was seriously into Trials back in 1999-2004 but lacked riders locally to expand the skills! Shocked to hear these actually quite a few kicking about in the Northants region! Mainly do trail riding these days on my XC bike but still got all my old bikes and equipment hoarding the rents shed lol. Currently have a Saracen M.A.D. team 26" but have an x-tort frame in the shed as my project as either pure 24" trials or Jump/street bike. Saracen probably slated on here as a budget halfords bike, but im very fond of my saracen, its been there with me since the beginning 10yr ago :0 Anyway, glad to be a part of this forum Edited July 28, 2010 by iceroo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceroo Posted July 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 I fookin' love X-tort frames Welcome to the forum! And get some photos up of that frame!!! I notice they are very rare these days (or im just not looking hard enough), couldnt find them for sale anywhere. So i feel privileged to still have it. Its just a bare frame at the moment, hope to get some useful component recommendations from u folks at TF Also debating whether to go 24" or 26" I have some seriously old snaps of me blunting onto some walls and benches, think the back to 2001, gonna have to route em' up Is there many people on here with x-tort builds?

It set me back £120 I think there's a silver xtort frame on there at the moment if you search for saracen instead of x-tort you should find it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
