Re:
Oh it's great to see that. I've not seen one for years. It's a mk2 (the mk 1 had mountain exage with thumbies) carreras were good bikes back then. It was the base model in the range, followed by the Waikaloa ( purple splatter paint with suntour xc ) Kathmandu ( blue splatter, shimano dx) and the Quattro comp ( grey smoke, xt) there was also a step through equivalent of the krakatoa in yellow splatter who's name escapes me. They all came with touch up paint and laquer and there was a proper brochure for that year too. The krakatoas list price was around 300 quid. Nice ride too, and the only one you could get in 17 inch apart from the step through one. That one looks like its very original. Let us know how you get on with it.

Aha! But, said shitty bike can be sold to purchase less shitty bike more suitable and less shitty than the previous shitty bike.

Re:
I would take a gt over a carrera anyday of the week.
Gt made bikes, carrera is a brand to shift product
Had a waikalou back then and it was so bad I ended up leaving it in at a church fete for then to sell for a quid. Dreadful things

Legrandefromage wish I could paste your quote here but my phone will not allow it,what you said is rightbl it has allowed me to purchase other bikes of interest to me.
I understand they're not that special but I always wanted a retro Carerra and now I'm getting one,chuffed
