Carrera Katmandu 1st Project now complete

[DegsUk]

Started with a £10 frame off the bay

and finally ...the finished bike

I think I remember seeing them out & about many moons ago. It looks retro-tastic! good work there, especially liking the Flexstem and the colour choice for the cable outer Those WTB tyres are ok for the money too, I run them on my Raleigh.

these are good quality frames - forks are by Spinner and check out the huge rear mud clearance!

just added some nice red bolts after a tip off from paddlingpool
they look really nice ...

top work fella

 

[DegsUk]

Thanks fella think that's a good shout will have a look for some

nice build. agree an older chainset will improve it.

how about stripping polishing the seatpost?

 

[DegsUk]

I was thinking about the chainset another XT but older , will have to keep my eyes peeled and also the seatpost has been stripped and polished the camera pics dont really show it .

original equipment was M550 LX - smart enough
