91 Carrera Katmandu

[al]

New fun project Carrera, going to keep it pretty period, although that may change as it goes together.

Snake skin tyres... well, because they're snake skin tyres!!

Re:

Come on you bike snobs... is a budget build beneath you lot?

The Kat is now going to be a periodish build! (no snakeskin tyres) looking for old ones now.

Got some Suntour kit coming today, so will update you when I'm closer to finishing.

Re:

XC Ltd bits to clean and fettle, like anyone cares!

Wonder if I can get 250 views without a comment.

Not going to say that Magnum tube set is the best in the world but it's really nice looking up close and the paint finish on that frame only enhances the look of the pipes

Well I'm totally disappointed on two levels about this thread,


1. Only 203 views in and Raidan spoils the plot to get to 250 page hits without a comment.

2. Al you've sold out and gone main stream, I thought you only had eyes for the weird sh1t that falls out of the ugly tree.....

Its just wrong... Way too normal, now go down that shed and come back to your sense's

Re:

I do normal and have done for many years, my dalliance with the strange will always be there though! This was a frameset that was going begging and It really is in fantastic condition, so I thought why not. This will be the best '91 Carrera Katmandu in the country, I would think?

It will be a town bike for knocking about on, not that I'm knocking about on anything with my bolloxed back at the moment.

I think you secretly love it?

Thanks to Adrian for the frame.

Cool bike mate I remember when these came out got reasonable reviews in mbuk. It's an odd one what people decide is worth collecting. I think people over look what at the time of introduction would have been considered budget.

Re:

Nothing at all wrong with this it is a quality (If a tad overbuilt)not always a bad thing)) frame and forks, great colour and condition, going to look fantastic when finished
