'87 Saracen meets adventure bikes. Retro MTB shakedown on urban trails

A festive ride organised by touring bike collective Grass Up The Middle and Keep Pedalling, the world's best adventure bike shop. Hitting the canal towpaths and abandoned railways of Manchester and the Transpennine Trail.
Thought I'd use the occasion for the first proper off-road shakedown of my 1987 Saracen Trekker, and I'm glad I did. The bike performed faultlessly, it was also neither the oldest nor the heaviest bike out on the trails that day.
