It arrived ysterday, took it to my LBS to be assembled properly, also bought some mud guards, bar ends and a half decent lock, I have never thought much of carreras in the past but wow am i impressed with this bike, its my first single speed and boy does it fly! what a bargain for £199.

    Very nice. I think everyone's on the chamois thread discussing Toblerone slots and lube

    That does look pretty smart. Nice one Dan.

    Also, good choice of guards.

    So when are you ditching the riser bars for a nice flat bar? ;)

    Bar ends on risers are completely wrong. Change that to a flat bar ASAP.

    I've just splashed out on one of these, for my limited budget it ticked all the boxes and will hopefully be a more than suitable replacement for the Saracen Sahara Elite that I rescued out of the parents shed after its 10 year hibernation that has now sadly fallen apart.

    I asume it will come boxed as its not in stock at my local branch (Aberdeen) and is coming direct, possibly a good thing.

    Cant wait to have my first SS commute later this week!
