Unfashionable wheel size (16”)
Wrong material (no Reynolds here)
Short travel (35mm)
No boost
...and a single speed!

But CJR Jnr (just over 3yrs old and wrecked his balance bike) loved it...for about 100m then wanted his old balance bike back!

Started out as his older sisters pink Carrera Luna. Strip down, fresh powder coat and some sweet custom decals from James D on here. Building bikes for my kids is awesome!

Nice!
Carrera's are a great bike to upgrade. Doing a Blast for my daughter at the mo 🙂

Thanks guys.

Did Carrera Blast rebuild for my 9yr old lass last year...massive overkill with XT and Reba...but it was fun!

Quite possibly the best looking bikes I've seen on here in years!

Brilliant! I assume you have a green Stanton? Me too.

will need to do a build for my son at some point too, he'd love a clone of daddy's bike.

Haha, no Stanton yet but that’s on my wish list. Need to sell my plastic frame Specialized first!
