Carreras certainly had the same rears, sharing the same as Saracen. dependant on year it either had a clamp on seat clamp or not. some came with rear rack mounts some didn't, dependant on batch.

I suspect, its not the Katmandu in blue pictured with aftermarket/non genuine decals that read Eliptec(available as part of a sticker kit from Halfords), I think this is too early.

More like the 93/94(cant remember which) model Krakatoa in pink Pictured.
