1970 Saracen 125
This is not just aanother pretty Sachs engine-based bike. It is a real overengineered
work of British art. Just look at the turns and bends in the exhaust. Incredible.
The bike is so light and looks so bright. It took us over 2 years to source the
parts we needed to complete the project. If it hadn't been 95% complete we never
would have been able to do it. We worked off a couple pictures but none of an enduro
model as they were mostly prototypes like the MX model and not marketed like the
popular trials model. The core bike came from Fred Gonzalez and we want to thank our
partners Speed and Sport for the wheelset, complete front end and a lot of rare and
some fabricated parts. Larry Good did the restoration on the engine and on the
shocks as well. The frame was blasted and powdercoated by Nicky Trevino. The
tank was perfectly refinished by Ric Tipton Painting. The seat was reconstructed
by Citation Upholstery, and they did a great job.
