Hi all,

This is my first post and am hoping someone will have the answer to help me. On a recent ride i had a pivot bolt (i think thats what they are called) fall out of my Saracen Ariel 3 (2007 model). This left my bike unrideable and 7 miles from home. Now the problem is i cannot source a replacement bolt anywhere, i have been to my local cycle shops, e-mailed saracen and BETD, but have had no replies, so unless i can come up with a solution i am stuffed, and i Live in Rugeley with Cannock chase just on my doorstep and the new phase 2 just opened!!!.

I've uploaded a picture to photobucket to give you an idea of what i am on about. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

    i doubt it. when i rang madison about saracen issues, they said they had no stock of anything from before they took over. they essentially just bought the name.

    This man is correct. Madison didn't get any spares from the previous Saracen, they literally bought the name.
