It's an Orange Blood in size small. They only come in small or large. Usual great selection of colours to choose from but I like the chrome.

Waaaaaaaaaa? I thought you'd bought an Intense? I always liked the Blood. We'll have to go for a ride once I get my new bike built up!

Stupidly, I did. Got the Intense first. Realised the Slope Style was far too big for what I was going to be using it for, then this baby came up. Guess ill ride this until it dies then try the Intense. Bought both second hand on Pink Bike.

The BB is LOW!! caught my toes a couple of times already! Need to watch for that, or maybe even try shorter cranks if I'm being a cornering noob and doing it too much.

Saying that, it doesnt feel low to ride. Pedals well enough, floats over jumps fine, pulls up to manual easy enough.

The gear cable sticks out a bit at the seat tube when the frame is in compression but thats a minor issue.

Head angle feels good for tight corners. Ive got a 70mm stem on at the moment but going to fit a 50mm and slightly lower bars to try it out. Might try smaller tyres too. 2.5's are a bit overkill for trail centres.

May get some stick, because it's "a sh*ty Halfords bike"! But, in its defence, it's one of the best mtbs I've ever had!

Carrera Fury

SR Suntour Raidon 120mm forks

Hope/DT Swiss wheels wrapped in Conti Rubber Queens

Full SLX 2x10 drivetrain with Shadow+ rear mech and bash ring

DMR V8s

Avid Elixir 1 brakes (soon to be upgraded)

Everything else is standard except a Hope QR seatclamp and Hope bar ends (not pictured)

I have got other bikes, including stickerbombed roady with flat bars, an Octane One dirt jumps bike and a few trials bikes but the Fury is the one I thought had more significance in this thread.

Tell me what you think! :)
