a friend is looking for a beginners bike and thought he spotted a bargain when he told me he spotted a Nukeproof for sale on Gumtree for £120.
at that price i assumed it was stolen so i had to take a look…
https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/giant-fsa-mountaing-bike-with-full-nuke-proof-sticker-kit-/1131928196

turns out its some other brand that’s covered in Nukeproof decals…
the seller reckons it is in actual fact a Giant but i dont ever recall Giant making single pivot F/S bikes…anyone hazard a guess as to what the bike really is?

if it was a nukeproof for £120 it would be be a bit dodgy!

cant help you on what it is sorry

It’s a Saracen Raw.

Edit: too slow

It’s a Saracen Raw.

my initial thought was that it was either a saracen or an old ridgeback but i wasnt sure….thanks for the confirmation. 😀

Please help him choose something which is fit-for-purpose (whatever his intentions are) and not something which looks vaguely bike-ish, weighs 40lbs and will rattle and clunk all over the place!

He won’t have much fun on something like that, and it will invariably end up at the back of the shed, never to be used again

My Nukeproof Mega (with CCDB) was stolen and sold on for less than £120 🙁

That door step could do with a lick of paint.

he’s got a budget of £600 but thought he’d spotted a bargain and saved a few hundred in the process…i’ve told him i could probably build his something far better and lighter than that using some scaffolding poles!

the concrete flags could do with a good jetwash too

Those are not the words that came to my mind!

Sorry for the slight thread hi-jack. I’ve got an Azonics Sabre (XTension Turner 6-pack ish copy) built up with some mid/entry level functionanlly good components for sale if your mate might be interested in that, gonzy? 19″ though so it may be a bit big if that “Nukeproof” is anything to go by.

might be a bit too big for him…looking for a small or medium as he’s only 5’6″, but i might have another friend who might be interested in the Sabre. if you can send me pics and more info with a price, i’ll pass it on to him….email in profile thanks

Yep, will do. I’ll take some photos this evening and get in touch.

thanks Paul
