Redline Carrera... what do you think?

<< < (9/9)

RATTY:
The frames are pretty sturdy, I have never broke one, and I never heard of one going, but tell tale stress signs are the chrome flaking or peeling round welds.

The forks are crap, they go at the drop outs, I got a spare pair which I had to fit a month ago and the have cracked already >:(

I think TBH the fork doubt has more to do with big old guys riding them on todays tracks , I had no problems bitd and raced mine hard for 1/2 seasons in 15/16 Expert ( and I was'nt 5 foot nowt either  ;D ) .

RATTY:
Must be the skill of the rider matt, cos I snapped mine bitd :-[, but i did ride mine 24/7 back then, at rom etc.. I got some 5" pro craft forks to try, they look stronger :daumenhoch:

Stu or Grubbs could probably answer this one really well.
i never broke mine BITD but then i was pretty skinny. i did break a pair of Tange TX 500's at the drop out, mostly because of my crap riding style  :-[

Grem i don't think you'll have any problems, ratty has answered what you need to know :daumenhoch:
