Does it have the same frame as the 2009 Fury? :?

    According to the guy I spoke to in Halfords, yes. The only differences are the colour and the fact that most of the welds have been smoothed off on the Fury (it's still a tad rough down by the bottom bracket, I noticed). I'm inclined to think he wasn't talking BS, either, because they looked identical to me.

    The frame on the Fury is lighter and the welds are much cleaner. The Kraken's welds look really rough compared to the Fury.

    When I was buying mine I had the 2 bikes lined up together and the difference is obvious.

    It's either the same or they're close relations. Course, the butting/construction might not be identical, that was the case with the Kraken and Vulcan last year, they looked exactly the same, but the Vulcan frame was heavier.
