Whenever someone slips in the word saracen....everyone turns their noses up and run a mile....anyone who owns one will be ridiculed forever and usually by people who have never ridden such a bike to criticise...

Spec

Frame - Saracen Xess (04?)
Fork - 04 dj3s
Bar - Truvativ xc-am
Stem - Truvativ Hussefelt
Front Brake - Deore LX 160 mm Rotor
Rear Brake - Deore 160 mm rotor
Front wheel - god knows cheapo one coz i broke stock one. Held up tho, and reasonably light
Back Wheel - Halo Combat on shimano hub 36h
Tyres - High roller front, nokian gazza back
Cranks - Ritchey dual chainring
Pedals - Dmr v8
Seat - Wtb laser
Post - Kore
Gears - Shimano

Its used for pretty much anything i feel like riding - street, dirt, dh, freeride, even xc if i'm feeeling fit.
I know i'm not gonna be the fastest on it, but i can only afford one bike atm

Any ideas for new frame? I was thinking a charge blender, coz it pretty much covers what i wanna do on my hardtail

norco hardtails are pretty strong if you're into that kinda thing

ummm..

you could get a real nice dmr if you're up for some street or DJ's
