Well the Carrera is gone and this is the replacement! It's still a do-it-all bike, not just for racing and it got a good test this weekend at Ballyhoura down south. Still a few things to figure out - I got an agonising hand cramp (it has happened before) on some of the rocky trails so I've been advised to move my position on the bike forward to see it it helps. Overall though, I am extremely pleased with it! 
It didn't look like ^^that for long. Within 2 hours most of the main bits were fitted, then by the following evening it was ready to ride excluding a front mech!

The steerer will get cut down again once I'm happy, and I've also realised I'll need a conventional front mech as the current one sits too high. The picture below is from before it was fitted.

Very nice to! The white rims work really well with white downtube and black forks/rest of frame as well!Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0

It worked out for a mish-mash build! I couldn't afford a bike like that straight up, so I'm really happy that its turned out so well!0
