Kids frames should be cheaper 😀

It was time to move the final few on - we're moving next week.
Left we have:
3 x 21" Titanium
1 x 19" Titanium
3 x 21" White Cro Mo

Once they're gone, thats it.

Hi, I asked this on the other kili thread but I will ask here too - are the measurements on the Saracen site for the top tube length horizontal or actual length?

(Let's face it, if repetition was not allowed on STW we would have about only 10% of the number of threads we have had over the years)

In case anybody is umming and ahhing over one of these frames, I'd like to point out that they really are hand made in the UK, by Enigma Bikes of Eastbourne, who's cheapest steel frame sells for £900+
They are easily the best bargain I've ever seen crop up on STW.
If you can get one, DO IT. 🙂

I'm getting Lekus old steel Kili very soon 🙂

He's actually crying now. There's a grown man literally sobbing his heart out somewhere, right now.

Haha... If i had a pound for every time there's been a disappointed customer after "thinking about it" for too long, then I'd be a millionaire. My cruel side tends to come out a little bit too... Muhahaha.

Thank God for that. The financial controller would have had my balls.

(But I might be crying, just a bit, on the inside)

Nope.. Taiwan. But they are nice. Only sayin' in fairness to anyone buying one thinking that. Sorry. The factory that makes the Ti bikes is a good one imo too.

I found an old Singletrack interview with the guy who is behind Saracen from 2010 and he said they were planning on using Enigma, but sadly illness prevented this and they had to go to Taiwan.

Which othe Ti bikes are made by the factory in Taiwan then?
