They look really good, but again the bars look like they are weak and i don't trust the top tube of the frame, looks feeble, but at least Saracen are catching up with makes such as Specialized, Flow, Giant, and 24 Seven in their style and design.

I never said about geometry, i never said they ride nice or are strong, i said their designs are looking better, the graphics, colours, frame design, not so thick and made from tin foil.
For all i know they ride like shite, but i never said anything about that

I built the amplitude 1 today at work, its nice in the matte green but it weighs a tonne for a hrdtl ... and its 240 !! Had a quick spin arnd the shop n they feel nice to ride, defs probably a flickable bike.

Someone turned up to my local trails on the weekend with a brand new Amplitude 1 (the green one) and by the end of the day it was falling apart n buckled. Looks like it rode quite nice, they are pretty big though.
Another kid had this...
It is a exteme piece of shit, it was creaking so loud and the funnyest thing was, even when he was off the bike and it was perfectly still it continued to creak. We were just waiting for it to suddenly shatter into a thousand pieces.

Indeed the saracens appear nice but are utter shite !!! After having a quick spin rnd the shop floor .. in the tinny space we have the raw was already starting to creak. And the chain on the amplitude is so fecking tight its unbelievable !!!! U cant slacken it off coz its got vertical drop outs.
