hi,
my saracen raw 2's swingarm snapped the other day although it is only on one side so you can still ride the bike just not do anything with it! , i have a saracen hazzard pro frame i could build the stuff onto but i was in the proccess of selling it, i have got a ddg shooter that i am using at the moment , my question is should i buy a new frame/get one at christmas or try and get a weld done cheaply (see previous post regarding the hazzard pro weld).

    I'd get a new frame that suits you, a decent hardcore hardtail.

    not cracked though. Can saracen not give a replacement swingarm under warranty? maybe get that and sell it afterwards?
