Redline Carrera?

<< < (3/10) > >>

subwax:
Which gen Carrera are you looking for, mate?

Also, as faras I am aware, Carrera's only came in chrome - not white.

Dia compe 890's were the choice of brakes on the gen 1 Carrera's, MX-900's on the Carrera II - never used 1000's at all. Pre-bent levers on the gen 1 and tech 3's on the Carrera 2.

Early Carrera's had Araya rims, not Ukais. The later Carrera II had Ukais. Also gen 1 were unsealed hubs, gen 2 sealed.

XC compe pedals for gen 1's, XC II's for Carrera II's.

Any more info needed, drop me a line.

One thing often fogotten when hunting a 1st gen Redline Carrera - the frame does not have a bracket between the bottom chainstays. That will make your search even harder as they are exceptionally rare to find.

I don't like chutney though, so bear that in mind please  :)

Having probs getting a pic on here again, says I'm exceeding something or other  :-\

But, I can assure you that they are completely NOS, never been munched, nibbled or placed anywhere near any kind of chutney.

The box is still up in the loft somewhere, I'll see if I can dig it out  ;D

Cheers Neil, not sure which one to go for, I'd be happy with either to be honest  :D

I'm positive my mate had a white one with red tuffs on it - maybe he had a pl-20 or something and just got some carrera pads for it?

The one I saw in the shop window BITD was definitely white.
