wayneone Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 05 saracen's are top notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aff1e Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 HI, MY MATE HAD THE 04 AND 05 BUT I THINK THAT THE 05 IS BETTER LOOKING AND IS STRONGER :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arran on t-pro Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 there good if you get one of the more expensive ones on the market.because the cheaper ones look rubish and probobly wont be very good.and as you progress youl want a better one if you get a cheap one any way so get a good one first :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's just the frame, then they are all the same... if he get's the 05 one then its all good :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModRider! Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 If you go for saracen i think you should get one of the 05 frames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Dave Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 just snaped my 04 saracen mad. they are weak and have crap geometry. good starter bike but if you can afford it go for the 05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 How much is the 2005 Saracen? What alternative frames have you considered?

Trials Dave Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 you could look at the base ta26. www.bikedock.com have them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flipkickbs Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 I agree with most people, the 04 is not a nice frame to ride, and is snappy happy. i have not ridden the 05 but as the 04 was so bad id imagine the 05's allot better. :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangezero Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 saracens are ok my mate used to ride and it wants to bad but if you've got the money id go for a base ta26!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Got a 05 saracen frame and forks are fine, been dropping 6 foot and it takes it all a mate does 270 endos to a 7 foot drop so its all good so far like the geometry as well, rode into a wall the other day a heard a crack hopefully it was just the wheel lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
