i love this bike relly nice and even nicer when you pimp it up cus i had one off these but sadly it got stolen from school by some dirty low life pikeys and i only had it for 4 weeks :(
bad times
check out my bike mate
I got myself the same bike about 4 months ago and I agree it is a fab bike for the money and beats others in it's class. Problem I found is that it came from Halfords!! It's ok getting good spec but if the muppets don't put it together properly. Any way thats besides the point!! Back to bike - it would be a 10 but as a standard bike little details like the chain (cheap and snapped first ride - see above post, Halfords did replace it with a SRAM chain under warrenty, why they didn't just fit one in the first place??!), pedals and seat could be better. You'll soon see what I mean. I'm looking at putting some DMR V12 pedals in white on for example. In summary despite the few little personal tweaks it's a great bike
I bought one of these a couple of weeks ago when the insurance came through for my sto;en Fury (didn't have the extra £50 quid to replace!) think it looks great and after a few minor adjustments (New seat cos this one with the white leather looks a bit too gay!, couple of inches off each end of the handlebar and some SPD pedals) oh and reflector removal, looks the b******s. only had to adjust the rear mech slightly in line with the Sram manual as halfords had it way out, but now really pleased with it
i like the frame alot and the parts are very good for the money. I have a Kraken (although not much of the original spec is left) there very nice bikes
No I couldn't find anything for the Kraken, but after going to a few shops and trying other bikes like the GT, and Marin I was undecided myself till I had a go on the Kraken !, It's the best bike I have ever owned although the Pedals let it down a little,
I highly recomend it.
