Any love for the old Carrera’s here?

My dad had a blizzard I think. Was that green and white one?

That’s the one, white front and green back end. Paint scheme was a blatant ripoff of the Specialized range

Tainted by the brand owner's tendency to push BSOs to the young and gullible, and put them off bicycles for life

But then that makes them a bargain

Sad but true and I have worked for them for many years. Carrera bikes were decent value for money and I have only owned two of them myself before I got to work for them in 2001.
1992 Carrera Katmandu x2. (like the one in this thread here ). I had bought the first one without decals and a straight fork which was not original to the bike it seemed, though the spec was nearly the same as the second that did come with original decals (and curved forks) still on the frame. They both had a Reynolds 531 frame so were fairly light and it made for a nice ride. I did end up selling both to make way for something else instead.

I'd buy a Katmandu if I could find one in really good condition. I prefer the blue to the red. Not that fussed though. Oh hang on nope. Not buying any more till I get some sold.
