I'm not sure if it is a carrera / saracen - the seat tube seems to 'kick' towards the bb at the chainstays....

If you click and view the photo then enlarge it you can see that it is an anomoly caused by the pattern in the mortar of the wall in the background that makes the seat tube look 'less than straight.'

Almost certainly a Saracen/Carrera due to the frame geometry in general and the characteristic short headtube in particular.

My blue Wot is an early Quattro Comp XT (by Saracen) framed bike that would have come with full XT gruppo, the red Wot still in progress is a later frame that came equipped with STX.

Thanks for the help everyone! I'll try and scan the pic better rather than a pic of a photo! Carrera / Saracen seems to be looking like it though - did the carreras have saracen embossed on the dropouts? It's nearly 15 years ago now so I'm not so hot on it, I just remember that bike felt a part of 'me'... Anyone got a Quattro going spare?!

Mine definitely had nothing embossed on the dropouts....

The Saracen doesn't have the down tube straight to the rear stays.. The Haro is similar, especially the extreme comp, except mine didnt have the bolt on rear stays... Sadly I dont have any better pics, it was stolen not long after that one was taken. Gutted!

Not a Haro. Haro bikes had bent top tube, whereas this one is straight. It looks like it might be a Canadian branded Nishiki (Barbarian or Mystic).
