im no expert on full sussers, but that looks a pretty decent frame, especially for £140!

I just thought i'd take a gamble it looks a ok frame
i couldn't find any info on the web about it though which made me question it a bit

trail jacker

yeah, ive never heard of that model either. carrera make decent bikes though, so the frame should be well made an all.

Hopefully i'll have it built up and ready for next summer

Although i still have a road bike which is in its 4 year of being built up :oops: ,
I'm feeling more motivated about this one though

trail jacker

good luck!

Nice shock, and that good make a good bike, what parts you planning for it?

gers84

I'v not given it much thought yet the frame was an impulse buy,
I'll try and put it together for as little as possible so odd's are i'll be mixing and matching different parts when i can get my hands on them

WillGTJumper

Keep your eye out in classifieds and ebay then, oh yeah post pics at every stage of the build!

Made by merida, the Halfords DH team used them for a while.

Cheers Sonic, So i £140 is ok for the frame then?

supersonic

i would say thats a bargain, provided its in good nick! Will need an 7-8 inch fork to get the best from it.

gers84

Its on my shopping list, I'll try and kit it out for under £500

hednesfordxcer

its not actually a carrera, I'm sure a recent edition of MBUK had a pic of bike fully made, I'll try to look it up and let you know

I've heard that they can crack. Give it a good check over when you get it.
