 Its All About The Money & deal Belive Me saracen make shit bikes but cheap bikes and sell so many so the the deal will be miles better Than ScottBikes and he will only be running the frame! beacuse hes not going to drop from marzocci,gusset,aclass,formula, to ride the shit that come on the saracens So He Will Be Changing A Hella Lot Of Parts!
  • 52

  • 90
 That is a stock model. The parts wont be like that when he builds his up.. go to the site, lance wouldn't drop gusset, mar, aclass, formula, halo, and whoever else.. just as Whatyou3gg said.
  • 23
 im not stupid dude, im just saying its not what i would do personally especially after being out for 6 months this means make or break for his career

 Lance Mcdermott Will Make Sarcen A Bigger Bike Comapany Than They Ever Was But I Can See Where All You Pinbiker Are Coming From But the LIKE SARECEN IS COMPANY THAT DOES ANFACTURING FOR OTHER FRAMES just like S&M MAKE BLKMARKET FRAMES ETC ETC
  • 71
 For those slagging off saracen, yes, they've had a few crap crap years, but heres the story. The guys making the shit saracens went bust. The NAME (yes, only the name) got bought by some new guys, and they're making ENTIRELY NEW bikes, which are actually quite nice. So before you start jumping the gun and slagging them off, they are in fact an all new company, not the saracen which destroyed its own name a few years ago whilst trying to bridge the halfords 'affordable' BSO's and the real bike market. And its true, lance is sponsered by saracen, and that doesn't mean by RST and all the other stuff on that bike as well. So, perhaps a chill out guys and think a little :/ hope this clears things up a little, Olly Smile

 AND ALL REMEBER ITS NOT THE BIKE THAT MAKES THE RIDER ITS THE RIDER THAT MAKES THE BIKE! yous should be supporting Him People Whats Up With You!
  • 11
 HERES NEWS FOR YOUS ALL


"He'll be using kit from his existing componentry sponsors, including Gusset and Alex Wheels, but his frames will be the same stock models you can buy in the shops (complete bikes start at just £359.99). The 23-year-old from Manchester, England will also work with Saracen on developing his own signature model as part of the three-year deal."
  • 20
 i read that aswell, people dont understand the concept of buying a company "braned" look at some of the companies madison distribute for, obviously theyve made a very calculated desicion on this, can wait to see the future developments for both rider and comapny, personally, i think they will go a veryyyy long way, and i doubt its purely for the money, as scott are a fairl big company, and they dont just produce bikes
  • 20
 LANCE IS ALWAYS FOR THE POSITIVE AND THIS IS A GOOD MOVE FOR HIM!!
  • 10
 either way, straight up.. that frame looks sick, has sick geometry, and is cromo. Build that up with parts a professional athlete would get, and it would probably be a super-smooth, super nice bike, weighing it at i would say the 29lb mark.. i would ride that frame anyday, as long as i could build it up nice"er"
  • 10
 to be honest though saracen heave relaunched themselves big time since being bought by madison, there dh frame is gona be pretty sweet
  • 20
 dam so many of you are being dip shits, its a completely new bike from the uk importer Madison, along with the new XC bike and DH proto. in a half i year i hope you will all being eating you words along with you keyboard so you cant project miss informed denigrative rubbish across the net.
  • 10
 yeah, but its not just UK importer madison... it is now Saracen owner madison, obviously their all new bikes, the last lot were garbage to say the least
  • 123
 Hahaha, this made my day... Saracen lol
  • 51
 and its completely serious, did you now know about the take over of saracen and there is going to be a 2011 would cup DH team?
  • 52
 Yeah I did but they will always be Saracen maker of alu frames and steel rigid bikes
  • 21
 are you being serious?
  • 13
 wonder if theyll just be using intense'with saracen stickers on again haha
  • 13
 like the bikehut halfords team?

you dod realise they are releasing there own high end dh frame?
  • 23
 wasnt that carera?
  • 12
 yeah i do Smile wasnt the bikehut team something to do with saracen tho ?
  • 31
 Na Carrera like the guy above says Smile
  • 20
 ahhh, didnt see that, commented just before me haha
  • 32
 Yes get in there i can finally ride my Saracen without getting abused Big Grin
  • 30
 have you checked the saracen website, they are sorting out their bikes, hopefully you will eat your hat.
  • 40
 Saracen used to make good bikes, nice to see them coming back with something decent.
  • 41
 wow he ditched a signature geo scott voltage for that:S
  • 31
 yes, but if saracen takes off into the high end bikes then his name will be imprinted on British riding history, compared to just being yet another rider for scott. think about it
  • 20
 yeah, he would be the guy that re-invented Saracen, look at muddyfox (i think) the athertons left and it all went downhill, not literraly coz i dont think they make a dh bike no, but asthetically speaking Big Grin
  • 10
 and performance speaking....
  • 10
 yes, exactly, someone who knows what their going on about.
  • 20
 I'm pretty sure his new bike will be custom geometry, its not gonna be a £150 Argos job...
  • 10
 no, in an article i read, for the first year hes riding the amplitude the aluminium and cromo versions (hes on the cromo one) alghough im pretty sure it will be a different spec, and they will be looking into a signature bike
  • 20
 It could still be custom geometry tho.
  • 10
 i hope he change that fork
  • 20
 for you lot, look at my mini explanation in the reply column above this! Smile
  • 70
 dont think its really going to matter what he rides in all fairness.... welcome back from the breakage i say lance mc`d gunna be onfire for 2010 Helmet
  • 30
 well said matty! At least someone out there has the idea that its bout the riding and rider, not just the bike Smile
  • 80
 www.saracen.co.uk

looks pretty sweet i'd say. Don't knock it till you've tried it. Big Grin
  • 20
 Remember guys they all laughed at skoda, but they were world champs in their class for about ten years, and that was before vw bought the badge, saracen will have some massive clout, and i hope they and the riders do well.
  • 40
 jeez peeps read the blurb.. they are trying to improve.. just watch and wait and see what happens
  • 10
 plus they are now owned by Madison....... one of the biggest cycling trade distributors in the business! look at their genesis bikes, they are the nuts! also as far as im aware they are pullin out of halfords! and saracen frames have always been pretty bombproof! and the old skool ones were lovely, just give madison a year or two and they will be a brand people want again! ive already seen pics of their new kili flyer and its gorgeous! plus the dh proto looks bang on!
  • 10
 I wish people wuld actually read instead of looking pictures and jumping to conclusion's! The only thing he will change is the frame, from Scott to Saracen. Saracen is just the brand name to, its a totally different company running it now so things are bound to change! This can only be a good thing!
  • 30
 saracen don't have one of the best reputations, but this guy is lance mcdermot, he'll know what he is doing
  • 20
 have you guys seen the new saracen frames...they are pretty awesome looking...I'm no old saracen fan...but new small light cromo hardtails in crazy colours works for me!
  • 11
 i dunno why your all sayin shit lance mcdermott is 10x the rider any of u have left comments in here including me and hell trash on any bike just cos you all have ot have your bikes set up with sickest parts to still be shit riders, faggots
  • 10
 the reason lance is doing this, umm lemme think....... MONEY! Madison are aa huge company and will have offered him more than scott, simple as that!
  • 21
 your all complaining about saracens, obviosly there not perfect. but for the money you pay for them you cant complain.
  • 21
 well if you look at the prices for the spec its not great
  • 21
 if we use the pictured amplitude cr2 for example. it uses a lot of own brand saracen components. with the exeption of the formula hubs, rst forks, tecktro brakes. and a few outhers. but for £459RRP i dont think its to bad.
  • 21
 joker!!!! i wonder how much money he's gettin payed to ride that piece of poo!
  • 21
 whatt hes not evan riding the best aplitude if their is such a thing hes riding the middle spec oo dear (N)Frown
  • 31
 oh my god hes getin sponcerd by sarcen that is SHIT
  • 10
 Madison dont own iron horse! the owner of cannondale, gt and mongoose have bought rights to the name!
  • 11
 they are........i know what im talkin about mate.
  • 10
 Any money its not actually a Saracen he rides Razz
  • 10
 It probably will be just a custom one-off made for him
  • 10
 he actually is going to be riding their new cromo jump frame, with a look into a signature series
  • 21
 if thats his bike now i laf because he has downgraded
  • 21
 O My Gosh, What A Joke Frown
  • 21
 what a shitty company nice forks lol Smile
  • 10
 not liking the small pics these days...
  • 11
 Saracen are now owned by the same people as iron horse so they will probably have some new designs anyway...
  • 10
 looks like he just jumped into a toilet here
  • 11
