    My 14X is probably going back, 3rd time it has had the problem with the bushes in less than a year. For me the bike is sufficiently good to give it a second chance with a new frame.

    151 here. Rides brilliantly but would NOT recommend buying one unless you like changing bushes every fortnight.

    The issue was that norglide changed the spec of the bush without actually telling Saracen. I’m told this has now been sorted and new bushes to remedy the situation should be available soon. They’re doing final testing at the moment.

    Yer i know the problem.Just hope you can get them easily so save stripping and sending the frame back many many times..

    toppers, can you give the basis for what you say? Not doubting it but it might be helpful in my upcoming discussions.
