Carrera krakatoa

[Starskydog123456]

Hi. I just bought this old Carrera for nostalgia's sake. I know its a cheap old Halfords bike. I had one in 1989 l think. Destroyed it in the lakes in 3 days. Can't remember what happened to it now. Saw this and the great memories came flooding back. Just wondering if anyone knows where I can get 300 lx brake levers and shifters to make it 100% original. Just rode it to the cafe and can't believe that we rode these things up and down mountains ( till they exploded). Brilliant times.

I vividly remember seeing that model in the local Halfords! Always liked the paint scheme

It's nearly perfect and will be even better after some autoglym. Ive had this old Raleigh for a while too. Ride it round the blackdown hills recently. It rides like a dream.

Although often looked down upon, then as now - you got a lot of bike for your money with Halford's Carreras.
