Mart! Quit stalking me!
I don't understand; how did you know I'd be here? :roll:
You're right, I won't do it. Why? Because
(1) it looks to be about a 19" or taller, which is too tall for me,
(2) it's a cheap, heavy, department-store quality BSO, and
---most of all---
(3) I.....uh....already have one
On the plus side, it's got a cool, blingy paint job that onlookers will admire as you push it uphill.

your killing me Frank - reading your post above I thought for a second or two that you were actually displaying an elliment of restraint over this pile of shite ... but then you killed that thought off with your closing gambit

You're right, I won't do it. Why? Because...

(2) it's a cheap, heavy, department-store quality BSO, and ---but most of all---

Nick, I didn't know until AFTER I bought it. I already had a Carrera Quattro, and I thought this might be similar. And, yes, with its shiny, unblemished paint job with decals and pinstriping, it makes for a stylishly blingy boat anchor.

...now I just need a boat...

In all seriousness, though, it's part of the e-stay's brief 5-year window in bicycle history, so I had to have an example. With all the estays ever made, I'll bet it's only a scant 3% (if that) that are BSOs rolled in glitter like this one.

You just never know...Years from now the Carrera bicycle company might want to offer me a king's ransom for my Carrera Katalyst so they can hide it away and deny they ever produced such a POS. THEN who'll be laughing?

Re:

You must have a spot up with every frame somewhere, we need to see them all.

I seen some over the years we've been here but I must have missed loads.

I assume you have something quality like a British Eagle BOSS?

Re:

Incorrigible ... I love your eStay obsession. I share a part of it. Do you have one of these ...

I'll have to create an "about me" page to explain my obsession, but Yes, I have a Boss in fairly nice condition, I also have one that's been thrashed and needs attention, and I have a frame and fork that appears to be unpainted NOS.

Incorrigible ... I love your eStay obsession. I share a part of it. Do you have one of these ...

I think that's a question for Retro Spud, above. I got a nice purple ano one from him, got 2 more from peanutcracknell a few months back, and I found one here in USA on Craigslist a few years back.

I think it's more than just an obsession.....it's like.....
.....I got a fever, and the only prescription is more e-stays!
