Carrera Katmandu Evolution 501 - 1991

[Dead Rats]

Came from brocklander023 and now belongs to friend called Ned, to commute and thrash around when he moves to Bristol

original 501 Magnum frame & forks, stem, bars, post, saddle, clamp with new STX brakes, STX front mech... Dia-Compe levers, Altus rear mech & crankset from LGF, RAF bikes' nice old Alesa / Exage wheels, etc.

Felt pretty nice to ride, nearly fitted all pink cable outers :?

Another good job done on, dare I say it, that WDS bike. It looks almost new.

I particularly like the blue dust caps. I do hope Ned appreciates these little touches of OCD.

Good to see the old girl getting used instead of rotting in a garden. Really tidy frame tbh, obviously not had a lot of use. Reminded me of an early 90's Saracen.

The black components give it a purposeful and tough look, particularly the rims and tyres.

Purposeful - exactly - which is a good thing
