what bike is this??

[Tad]

I'm going with Halfords E-stay, I've seen some that look identical, they had several with their names on. I have one of the Saraen built ones, unfortunately this isn't one of them.

Ballistic forks were very budget items, If I recall correctly they were around the £100 mark at the time an RC35 would of set you back around £350.

thats not a halfords e-stay

It is a Halfords e-stay, much lower end than a Quattro. The saddle is the give away (where it's says Carrera).

The bike's former owner may be a member:

I had a set of ballistic forks on my old carrera Ultima. looked the biz.

however they didn't work very well. They seized solid - and I hadn't noticed Smile

Seemed the stantions just rustede themselves to the fork legs.

I'm pretty sure it's a Carrera Ultima. See my post on page one - you could PM bobgarrod and ask him.
