Sounds a good price, what year?

Mrs FW has a Carrera LRS which is made by Merida, don't know how it rides but seems ok (it a good few years old now though)

thanks found that 1
i have just been told mine is a 2006 model and was about £900 for the frame new with rear shock...seems a bit over the top in price

Frames always seem expensive in relation to full bikes. for a 2006 frame £50 is a bargain. If you find you don't like it you can always bung it in the classifieds or on ebay.
