Carrera Kraken

Greer_

Finally after 2 months of waiting I got to take my new bike out for a proper ride! Some of this was due to exams, some due to a two week holiday, and the other month was due to some bloody factory workers putting the bb in the wrong way which resulted in my cranks falling off!! All fixed now though and the Halfords staff were actually very helpful! I got it in the sale for £300 down from £500 Already started changing a few parts ... what do you's think?!

I like it!! My last bike was a carrera vulcan disc, had it for about 3 or 4 years and never had any problems with it!!

I'm not refering to the bike, look at what I quoted.

Aahhhh i feel like theres something really obvious I'm missing out on!! :oops:

Nice bike. The obvious thing is that that's one of Halfrauds all year round sales. So it never actually sells for £500 and it wasn't a mad bargain but the Kraken is still easily one of the best, if not best specced bikes out there at that price range.

I knew that, just its usually at £350! And I definitely couldn't find a better specced for £300! Brand doesn't matter when money is an issue!

When your're on the picture (on flickr) you have to click on 'actions' which then opens the dropdown menu on which you will find 'All sizes' this gives you the link for the ACTUAL picture; you then right click and "Copy Image Location"...
You THEN put THAT link inside the ""

and so...

Not sure whether I've made this unnecessarily overcomplicated :P

Hope this helps though
