*OnzaMike* Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 (edited) Yeh, i was viewing the saracen 05 trials range, fair play for them attempting a mod, its a long way off being anything reasonably good, but its a good attempt, and hopefully may bring some new people into the trials scene? Theyre top of the range saracen mad looks quite decent i thought, for a saracen anyway. http://www.saracen.co.uk/mad/mad-team-issue-big.jpg No it doesn't have the best spec by a long shot, but still not bad for a saracen! IMO :P :S Edited February 14, 2005 by *OnzaMike* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spunkey_monkey_boy Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 the new saracens are really really good, i rode matt barlows at the indoor event and was sooo impressed i've asked him to let me know when they're available frame only :P the mod does look a bit shit but lets hope they sell aenough to warrant a bit of r+d going into future mods...

motocrossmumford Posted February 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 :S to the stock theire forks look pretty nice. :P duno i just really dont like that mod but it will sell because it is a saracen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boothy Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Have ridden one, it's ok, but is very much a beginners bike. Makes a good bike to learn the basics on, but i was not very good on is, as I ride stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartridge Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 The best bit of that mod bike is the cranks (Truvativ Hussefelts)... and it doesnt even come with them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbanLegend Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 (edited) Mod bike does look a lil outdated.. Although it would suit a beginner fine I'm sure. As for the stock, a mate of mine recently bought the bottom range one, and I must say I'm super impressed. He's already upgraded it with a few parts, but the frame is super sweet for the money.

the666ers Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Yeah Jack Meek has one as he's sponsored by them, he seemed to be doing fine on it :P I thought it was a Specialized when I first saw it because of the style of the writing, but yeah it looks cool. His had some savage scratches on the downtube but no apparent dents so looks like a fairly decent frame. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endohopper Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 (edited) I'm reading comparisons to the Onza here , but I find it more reminiscent of ( identical to ,) the Diamondback mod.As shown in Diagram A : Could be wrong. :-" Edited February 16, 2005 by Endohopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtbiker Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 I saw both the stock and the mod in my lbs today, they're not too bad actually. I asked the guy what the wheelbase of the stock was, and he was like "umm, do you want to measure it" so i did, and its about 1060... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
