Hi

Was in Halfords today looking at the highly rated/reviewed Carrera Fury as a cheap starter bike.

It had a "new range" sticker on it, so I asked the guy who checked the paperwork and said it was launched last month (September 2011), so Im guessing its the new 2012 version of the bike?

If so does the spec differ dramatically from the one reviewed on here last year?

Im concerned that after reading these forums many bikes seem to have been built up with cheaper components this year to keep them at the same price point.
