2011 Saracen Zen 3 17" medium frame

This is a 2011 Saracen Zen frame, size medium (17").

6061 hydroformed tubing with gussets for good looks, light weight and impressive stiffness.

Purchased new as full bike a month or so ago after all my bikes were nicked, insurance payout coming now though so don't need this any more.

I've been impressed at how light this is and how well it handles - it would make a brilliant little play bike or XC bike for a rider who likes getting air and shredding the gnarr on the descents.

It's only had three short rides and as you can see from the pics it is in lovely condition, with a few bits of strategic heli-tape protecting the paint. I really like the black and cyan colourscheme, goes with loads of the cyan bike clothes you can get now.

Am including the FSA Garvity DX headset, which is cartridge bearing upper and ball-bearing lower - minus the crown race.

Google the reviews of this bike and you'll see that MBUK said it is as good as any hardcore hardtail - and having got on this directly after a Cove Stiffee I think this is way better (has a nice low-ish BB).
