well i like it, of course i would customise it a bit more but still its got alot of potentical. probably stick a chain guide on the front, stick some hope M4 disks and grab some Marzzoci forks or triple clamps.
Never been a huge fan of halford own brand. Dont get me wrong they are good but I have never seen them as the same level as other similar bikes for the money. You could get a basic kona for the money these are. Nice gear though. Not sure about the white rims. Maybe get a white frame!
i can get up hills on my stinky. just. it a proper workout and utter relief when you do reach the top and get to unleash the stinky on the awaiting DH.
Not really a FR but will have to do for now. Cant compete with big boys. I upgraded the forks to 150mm, put XT disc F & R, Sram X7 & rims & tyres 2.5 holy rollers.

Pretty horrible looking, but Carrera arent that bad, they are made in the same factory as a few big brand bikes...

as much as stinkys are great bikes i think they are too common and i can't respect Kona anymore because they are so common!

Thats ok spec, apart from the frame, i would never buy a halfords bike to do Freeride on.
mark62 replied... on 2 May 2008
For sure, the 06 frames look naff. I'v just bought a 05 Coiler frame so should be ready pretty soon.
