smelly joe Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 personally i wouldn't get a saracen mad frame. i managed to snap my one pretty easily, was a really nice bike to ride until it snapped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but the 2005 ones are a lot better the one you snapped was the old 2004 edition. I have a 2.5 rear tyre and a onza ronnie rim fits in fine with plenty of clearance to boot.

Yer a mate of mine, shaun, had a saracen 03, snapped it, got another off the warrenty, within 3weeks hes cracked the new one, and hes shit and doesnt try big things at all, the odd 3 ft drop and thats it.

mackey Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 you are probably better going for a t-raptor or something because they also have a big tyre clearance or you could just save up a little bit more money and go for a echo or zoo! etc off of tartybikes because they have gone down in price (Y) :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 No the new saracens are great i break most things i touch but this 1 is different broken most things as well! done the odd 6 foot 3 drop and it doesnt care at all been to the edge of wall slammed it down its built like a tank and a great bike because its oboisly different than the 03 and 04 models there is a significangt difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
