Just getting back into riding myself, and decided my 16-year-old carrera rigid wasn't really up to it so got me a very lightly used Carrera Kraken...

Some shots of my baby, a Giant XTC Composite (note frame material
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Pedals now have the external plastic cages removed and the bike has had a year of abuse, new pads, chain, rear cassette, front sprockets (?), 1 new front brake lever assembly, 1 wheel straightening, 3 brake lever mounting kits, 2 services, 1 adventure race, 2 winter lane quests, and plenty of action in the woods. Holland is going to be dull, but it will be accompanying me on Nurburgring trips next year in case it rains..... |
