I got a bike off here about 18 months ago for my dad and never paid any attention to it until tonight when i went round to check the gears.

Frame is Tange, gears are Shimano exage 300 lx (i think), biopace chainset.

Frame and forks are black with saracen on the down tube but no model name that i could see.

Any ideas about what it could be?

Think you're right about it being a Sahara, maybe a little earlier on the year though.

I guess try retrobike, but you'll probably need photos.
