Brand new? I though Carrera stopped doing these frames?singspeed wrote:I've just been offered a brand new carrera road frame for £110. Thing is it's made of magnesium. How are these bikes to ride? Are they light frames?
I know they had trouble with the bottom braket area of these frames.
One of my bikes was origginally a carrera with 105 but the magnesium frame corroded around the bottom bracket and the frame was exchanged for a merida carbon frame as they took over Carera apparently.0 -
Well it's the 2002 version. Must have been stored in a box for a few years. Its in brand new condition.
I was almost going to buy it but I am having doubts now that you mention the bottom bracket thing.0 -
Ive got a Pinarello Dogma and its magnesium,the best bike I've ever ridden.

It's probably not selling because it's massive!0 -
Does anyone remember those Kirk magnesium bikes with H-section frames from the eighties? I really wanted one as at the time but I guess I was about 12 years old and just thought they looked cool.0

I was seriously looking at one of these but also heard there were problems with these frames on earlier models so went for the prince insteadcampagchris wrote:Ive got a Pinarello Dogma and its magnesium,the best bike I've ever ridden.
