I've ridden a few remedy models and a slash and I liked both of them, Saracen did feel good apart from the slippy back tyre.

Trying to tempt my mate to give me a price for his Saracen is hard work I don't think he wants to sell it. The hunt continues.

Mental, went a bit faster tonight on that Saracen, now 50th out of 1500 on a dh bit which is a bit mad as most people will be on dh bikes on it pmsl. Gutted that my mate isn't selling it fuck me it's awesome to ride. Good at everything. Only thing I noticed was how low the cranks are to the floor. Immense bike though. Will test the alpine 160 next.
