Saracen Powertrax Mountain Bike

Just bought one of these and apparently it has a nice light alloy frame. Wheels are 26inch I am thinking if maybe i fit a couple slick tires it maybe a good nip to tesco bike (10 mile away) I don't do off road stuff or any thing but it looks quite versatile.
Just need to find room in the shed along side the other 2 bikes

Sounds perfect for a shop/pub type ride. A guy I see on the train every day has the Rufftrax and it looks indestructible.

Old Skool rigid MTB. Make good commuters with some city slicks on and guards.

Well the bike came and it was described as ready too go unfortunately that was not the case but never mind. So new cassette chain rings and crank oh and a chain now it is ready to go

I also opted for an extra low gear on the back so I can scale the side of the house if needs be. The plan there was when I do cycle too work now again there is a nasty hill a mile before I get there. I can do it on the road bike but I am in a bit of state by the time I get too the top so that gear should do nicely

Just need some mud guards now. The bike is a really comfy ride so I am happy in the end
